TL;DR: The most stable isomer of the 1:1 complex formed by 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone and water has been characterized by combining rotational spectroscopy in supersonic expansion and state-of-the-art quantum-chemical computations and insights on the nature of the established non-covalent interactions have been unveiled.

TL;DR: The hyperfine structure due to fluorine and hydrogens has been resolved, thus enabling the determination of the corresponding spin-rotation constants with an accuracy rivaling that obtained by molecular-beam electric resonance measurements and of the dipolar spin-spin coupling constants for the first time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Lamb-dip technique has been applied to the observation of the J = 1 − − 0 transition of DF, and the hyperfine structure due to D and F have been resolved by using microwave spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Spectroscopic studies play a key role in the identification and analysis of interstellar ices and their structure as mentioned in this paper, and some molecules have been identified within the interstellar ice either as pure, m...

TL;DR: An overview on the role played by rotational spectroscopy and quantum chemistry in the unraveling of the gas-phase chemistry of the interstellar medium is presented in this article , where a number of unknown species are waiting for identification and the processes that led to the synthesis of the identified species are still hotly debated or even unknown.
