The rotationally resolved electronic origin band spectrum of dicyanodiacetylene cation, has been recorded in the gas phase using frequency-production double modulation spectroscopy in a liquid nitrogen cooled hollow cathode discharge and cavity ring down spectroscopy in a supersonic plasma. The analysis of the complementary results provides accurate molecular parameters for the two spin-orbit components in both electronic states.

No rotational resolution has been obtained, presumably because of residual Doppler broadening.
