Abstract

Thorough the detailed analysis of the hyperfine resolved rotational transitionsfootnote{A. Mizoguchi, S. Ota, H. Kanamori, Y. Sumiyoshi, and Y. Endo, J. Mol. Spectrosc, 250, 86 (2008)}footnote{Z. T. Dehghani, S. Ota, A. Mizoguchi and H. Kanamori, J. Phys. Chem. A, 117(39), 10041, (2013)}, we have been pointed out that there exists not a little interaction between {it ortho} and {it para} states in the molecular Hamiltonian of chem{S_2Cl_2}._x000d_ Using the {it ortho-para} mixed molecular wavefunctions derived from the Hamiltonian, we calculated the transition moment and frequency of the {it ortho-para} forbidden transitions in the cm- and mm-wave region, and picked up some promising candidate transitions for the spectroscopic detection. _x000d_ _x000d_ In the experiment, the chem{S_2Cl_2} vapor with Ar buffer gas in a supersonic jet condition was used with FTMW spectrometer at National Chiao Tung University. _x000d_ As a result, seven hyperfine resolved rotational transitions in the cm-wave region were detected as the {it ortho-para} transition at the predicted frequency within the experimental error range. The observed intensity was 10$^{-3}$ smaller than that of an allowed transition, which is also consistent with the prediction. _x000d_ This is the first time the electric dipole transition between {it ortho} and {it para} states has been detected in a free isolated molecule. _x000d_
