Abstract The THz rotational lines of CH+ and its isotopologues have been observed in the range of 0.9–2.6 THz with JPL frequency multiplication chains. They were analyzed together with the known A 1 Π - X 1 Σ + band system data by using the Dunham formulation and the conventional vibration–rotation energy formula. The Λ -doubling in 1 Π states was reexamined, and the doubling or shifts were found to be different for the e- and f-parity levels. In this investigation, the e- and f-parity states were treated as two separate states. The major molecular constants were determined accurately for these two states separately, and were compared with the values obtained previously.
