The missing conformer: A comprehensive rotational spectroscopy study and astronomical search of two conformers of methyl cyanoacetate

We performed a comprehensive investigation of methyl cyanoacetate (MCA) using high-resolution Fourier transform rotational spectroscopy. Two low energy conformers of MCA were observed in the vibrational ground state, in selected frequency regions from 2 to 110 GHz. We report accurately determined li...
