	abstract = {The pure rotational spectrum of AINC has been measured between 11.9 and 24.0 GHz using a pulsed jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The molecule was produced using a laser ablation source, in which the ablated Al metal reacted with cyanogen present in the Ar backing gas of the jet. Hyperfine structure due to both the Al-27 and N-14 nuclei has been observed. Nuclear quadrupole coupling constants and nuclear spin-rotation constants have been determined for both nuclei along with an Al-N nuclear spin-spin coupling constant. The electronic structure of AINC has been investigated by estimating the degree of sp-hybridisation of the Al and N bonding orbitals. Comparisons have been made to similar linear metal isocyanide and aluminium halide species. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.},

	abstract = {An apparatus has been constructed to produce metal compounds using laser ablation and to investigate their rotational spectra with a microwave Fourier. transform (MWFT) cavity spectrometer. The first three such compounds that have been studied are silver chloride, aluminum (1) chloride, and copper (I) chloride, produced by ablation of silver, aluminum, and copper rods in the presence of chlorine gas, using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (532 nm). The high resolution and sensitivity available with the MWFT cavity spectrometer have permitted the first determination of nuclear spin-rotation coupling constants for AlCl and CuCl. These constants have been used to examine the electronic structures of the molecules. Values of the rotational and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants have also been improved for the three metal chlorides.},
