Rotational transitions in the X2Π ground state of C6H and C6D have been measured by a Fourier transform microwave and millimeter-wave spectrometer. In total more than 150 individual lines in the 2Π3/2 and 2Π1/2 rotational ladders have been observed, which allows an accurate determination of the rotational, fine structure, lambda-doubling and hyperfine coupling constants, using a standard effective Hamiltonian for a linear molecule in an isolated 2Π state. The molecular ground state constants are used to characterize the rotationally resolved origin band of the astronomically relevant 2Π ← X2Π electronic transition, recorded by cavity ring down spectroscopy in a pulsed supersonic slit jet plasma. From this experiment, spectroscopic constants for the upper electronic state are determined.
