The rotational spectrum of 3,3,3-trifluoropropionic acid was measured by supersonic jet chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy in the frequency range from 8 to 18 GHz. The rotational constants A = 3965.05187(53) MHz, B = 1343.14600(28) MHz and C = 1228.90710(29) MHz and three quartic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined for the first time. The analysis of the spectrum indicates that the observed conformer is the trans form of the acid with a planar heavy atom skeleton. The results are compared with the supporting ab initio calculations for this molecule. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The rotational spectrum of 3,3,3-trifluoropropionic acid was measured by supersonic jet chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy in the frequency range from 8 to 18 GHz. The rotational constants A = 3965.05187(53) MHz, B = 1343.14600(28) MHz and C = 1228.90710(29) MHz and three quartic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined for the first time. The analysis of the spectrum indicates that the observed conformer is the trans form of the acid with a planar heavy atom skeleton. The results are compared with the supporting ab initio calculations for this molecule. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
