Rotational spectra of 1-fluoronaphthalene isotopologues have been recorded using a chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer in the 2.0–8.0 GHz frequency range using neon as a carrier gas. Ten 13C isotopomers (each containing only a single 12C/13C substitution) of 1-fluoronaphthalene have been assigned in natural abundance for the first time. The rotational constants A0, B0, and C0 and inertial defects are determined from experimentally measured transition frequencies. For all isotopologues, the measured values of inertial defects were observed to fall within the range from −0.142 to −0.145 u Å2. The negative inertial defects are attributed to the low frequency, out-of-plane bending mode of the 1-fluoronaphthalene ring, which is evidently of similar frequency in each isotopologue. The anharmonic frequency of this mode has been calculated to be 142.8 cm−1 at the B3LYP-D3/cc-pVTZ level of theory, compared to 94 cm−1 predicted from the inertial defect based on an empirical relation proposed by Oka. Recent, unpublished, THz Raman spectrum reveals a peak at 75 cm−1, which is closer to the empirical prediction.
