abstract = {We report our analysis of the pure rotational spectra of
low-lying vibrationally excited states and heavy-atom rare
isotopologues of imidazole. To facilitate searches for
imidazole in the interstellar medium, we previously
described the analysis of the rotational spectrum of the
imidazole main isotopologue across the 2–295 GHz range,
and we extend this analysis here. Structure optimisation and
anharmonic frequency calculations were performed to aid the
spectral analysis. Three vibrationally excited states of
imidazole were assigned in our room-temperature spectra,
with energies up to approximately 670 cm$^{−1}$ above the
vibronic ground state. The vibrational states could act as
temperature probes in warmer star-forming regions. The
$^{13}$C and $^{15}$N heavy-atom isotopologues were
assigned, which allowed for the structure of imidazole in
the gas phase to be determined. Structural comparisons are
drawn between the related heterocyclic molecules hydantoin
and imidazolidine. An experimental gas-phase structure of
the former is also determined in this work. The potential
detection of the isotopologues could help deduce formation
pathways towards imidazole and other nitrogen-containing
cyclic compounds in interstellar space.},
