The investigation on microwave spectrum of benzophenone was conducted with a recently constructed broadband chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer with a heating nozzle in the 2–8 GHz range. In this work, 138 b-type pure rotational transitions were assigned to bridge the measuring gap in the microwave region. The rotational constants for benzophenone were accurately determined by a combined microwave data fitting with frequency coverage between 2–14 GHz and have the following values: A = 1692.8892190(119) MHz, B = 412.6446602(43) MHz and C = 353.8745644(43) MHz.
