Rotational and fine-structure transitions between the lower rotational levels of the CH radical in its X2Π state have been observed in absorption in the laboratory with a tunable far-infrared (TuFIR) spectrometer. The molecules were generated in an electric discharge through a mixture of methane and carbon monoxide in helium. The experimental line widths were limited by Doppler broadening and the measurements have a 1 σ experimental uncertainty of 100 kHz. The frequencies have been used together with all previous measurements of CH in the v=0 level of the X2Π electronic state to determine its molecular parameters and to predict an accurate set of rotational transition frequencies. ID="FN1">1We wish to dedicate this paper to our good friend and colleague, Harry Radford, who died on 2000 May 5. His name will live on in association with many groundbreaking pieces of work on the spectroscopy of small molecules, not least with the first detection of the far-infrared spectrum of the CH radical in 1970 March.
