The N = 1→2, 2→3 and 3→4 millimeter-wave rotational transitions in the ν2 = 1 level of Χ2Σ+ C2H have been detected in a laboratory discharge through helium and acetylene. Accurate values for the parameters A, B, D, γ, p, pD, q, qD, a, bF, c and d were determined from a least-squares fit of the measured frequencies to an effective Hamiltonian; the hyperfine parameters are the first reported for a vibrationally excited carbon chain radical. An upper limit of TR ≤ 0.3K in IRC +10216 has been established with the IRAM 30 m telescope for two transitions in the N = 1→2 manifold. The accurately measured laboratory frequencies will be used in astronomical searches for vibrationally excited C2H.
