Abstract

The nine-line magnetic resonance spectrum of N14O16 is observed at fields in the range of 8600 oersted at a frequency of 9360 megacycle/sec. The spectrum arises from magnetic-dipole transitions between Zeeman levels in the J=32 state of the Π322 spin component. The line positions allow a determination of the magnetic IJ coupling constant, which is 29.8±0.3 megacycle/sec., and the nuclear electric quadrupole coupling, which is -1.7±0.5 megacycle/sec. The line position and triplet spacings, which arise from molecular perturbations, are in good agreement with the theory of Margenau and Henry. The absolute intensity of the three stronger lines is measured to be χ=1.2×1010 which also agrees with theory.
