Molecules closely-related to SO_2 are of considerable interest because of the important role this triatomic or its surrogates play in the atmospheric and combustion chemistry of sulfur-containing compounds. Previous coupled-cluster quantum chemical calculations of the [HSO_2] potential energy surface conclude that a cis-isomer is the ground state, the trans isomer is a transition state, and that a C2v HSO_2 isomer lies considerably higher in energy (˜ 20 kcal/mol). Using Fourier Transform microwave spectroscopy, the rotational spectrum of the cis-HOSO radical has been precisely characterized for the first time by applying a DC discharge to a mixture of water and sulfur dioxide heavily diluted in neon. The fundamental rotational transition was detected near 17 GHz, in good agreement (within ˜ 1%) of the calculated value derived from the equilibrium structure. Microwave-microwave double resonance techniques have been used to extend the dataset to higher frequencies and to provide confirmation of the spectroscopic assignments.
