The results are pressure broadening coefficient Cw = (43 ± 1) [kHz/Pa] for J = 1 ← 0 rotational transition of CHF3 molecule in mixture with BCl3 gas, and collision cross section σexp = 294.0 [A2]. Experimental linewidth parameter is interpreted using Anderson–Tsao–Curnutte as well as Murphy–Boggs theories for the mixed- interaction case. From this analysis a value of molecular quadrupole moment Q = (4.1 ± 0.2) [DA2] of boron trichloride molecule has been obtained.Read More
