Abstract The microwave spectra of six isotopic species of diethyl ether were measured in relation to the molecular form and dipole moment. Transitions of the TT(trans-trans) isomer could be assigned and the rs structure of this isomer was obtained by the substitution method. The structural parameters of the TT isomer of diethyl ether are; r(CO) 1.408 Å, r(CC) 1.516 Å; α(COC) 112°25′, α(OCC) 108°37′ for the skeleton; r(CH) 1.093 Å, α(CCH) 110°11′, α(OCH) 110°10′, α(HCH) 107°29′ for the CH2 group and r(CH) 1.090 Å, α(CCHs) 110°35′, α(CCHa) 110°15′, α(HsCHa) 108°48′, α(HaCHa) 108°4′ for the CH3 group. The dipole moment was determined to be 1.061±0.018 D from the Stark effect measurement for the TT isomer. A discussion was made on the structure and the dipole moment of the TT isomer of diethyl ether in comparison with those of the similar molecules.
