We report on the detection of hydromagnesium isocyanide, HMgNC, in the laboratory and in the carbon-rich evolved star IRC+10216. The J = 1-0 and J = 2-1 lines were observed in our microwave laboratory equipment in Valladolid with a spectral accuracy of 3 KHz. The hyperfine structure produced by the nitrogen atom was resolved for both transitions. The derived rotational constants from the laboratory data are B 0 = 5481.4333(6) MHz, D 0 = 2.90(8) KHz, and eQq(N) = –2.200(2) MHz. The predicted… Expand
