The microwave spectrum of cyclohexene oxide and its isotopologues have been observed and assigned, improving upon previous rotational studies of this molecule.^,\footnoteRaquel Sánchez, Susana Blanco, Juan C. López, and José L. Alonso. J. Mol. Struct. , \underline\textbf780-781 (2006), 57-64. Additionally, the ¹⁷O isotopomer of cyclohexene oxide and the Ar complex of the normal isotopologue of cyclohexene oxide have been fit for the first time. Fits for the ¹³C-cyclohexene oxide Ar complexes will also be presented.
