Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Shizuoka University,; Oya 836, Shizuoka, Japan; Center for Instrumental Analysis, Shizuoka University; Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Shizuoka University,; Oya 836, Shizuoka, JapanThe rotational spectrum of MCN (M=Ag, Au) was observed by employing a source-modulation mi crowave spectrometer. The MCN species was generated in a dc glow discharge through the mixture of CH$_3$CN and Ar by a sputtering reaction with an metal target. The spectrum of MCN was observed in the ground and $\nu_2$ vibrational excited states. The molecular constants derived from the observed transition frequencies were compared with values of theoretical calculations reported in literature

The rotational spectrum of the NiI radical in the X 2Delta(5/2) and A 2Pi(3/2) states.
