Pure rotational Raman spectra of gaseous C6H6 and C6D6 yield the following rotational constants: B (C6H6) = 0.18960 cm-1 and B (C6D6) = 0.15681 cm-1. The moments of inertia of the molecules about any axis perpendicular to the C6 symmetry axis were calculated as I (C6H6) = 1.4759 x 10-45 kg/m2 and I (C6D6) = 1.7845 x 10-45 kg/m2. Calculate the C-C, C-H and C-D bond lengths.
