Joining the jet set: High-resolution, pure rotational spectra are obtained from a supersonic jet of TeSe prepared by laser ablation. The spectra give access to the internuclear potential, electronic structure (see picture), and details of the chemical bond of the first intermetallic 3Σ compound observed by microwave spectroscopy.
