Abstract
The methoxy-13C isotopomer of 2-methoxyethanol (MEO) was synthesized from ethylene glycol and iodomethane. The rotational spectra of both 2-(methoxy-13C)-ethanol (13MEO) and isopropylamine have been recorded from 8.7 – 26.5 using a waveguide, chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. Spectra were recorded at 253 K at each molecule's optimal pressure. The ground state and three excited vibrational states of 13MEO and the ground state of trans isopropylamine have been fit. The work required to further these fits and to fit other states of both molecules are discussed.
