摘　　要：We report the results of CO(1-0) (J=l-0) observations for 20 selected planetary nebulae (PNe), using the 13.7 m radio telescope of Purple Mountain Observatory at the Qinghai Station. Due to weak CO(1-0) emission, long integrated time observations have been carried out for most of sampled PNe. Among these PNe, nine are first detections in CO(1-0) named NGC 6445, Ml-59, M4-9, M2-51, M4-18, He2-459, Sh2-71, K3-31, M2-52, and one is the first possible detection named V-Vl-8, a probably misclassified PN. NGC 6445, Ml-59, M4-9 and M2-51 have been detected in CO(2-1)(J=2-1). Although having been observed in previous CO surveys, Sh2-71 and M4-18 were not detected in CO; M2-52, K3-31, He2-459 are the first detected PNe in CO emission and V-Vl-8 is given with a first completed spectrum detected in CO(1-0). Comparing these data with other previous observational ones, we discuss the relationships between CO(1-0) emission and evolution of PNe: While the nebular radii increase, the CO(l-0) line integrated intensities multiplied by distances have a decreasing trend. Also the masses of molecular envelopes (from 0.001 to 1 M⊙) for PNe are decreased with increasing nebular radii. All the results mean the CO(1-0) emission decreases dramatically with the nebular evolution. The detectability of CO restricted by different PNe which have different dust properties and different evolutionary stages is also analyzed.We report the results of CO(1-0 (J = 1 -0) observations for 20 selected planetary nebulae (PNe), using the 13.7 m radio telescope of Purple Mountain Observatory at the Qinghai Station. Due to weak CO(1-0) emission, long integrated time observations have been carried out for most of sampled PNe. Among these PNe, nine are first detections in CO(1-0) named NGC6445, M1-59, M4-9, M2-51, M4-18, He2-459, Sh2-71, K3-31, M2-52, and one is the first possible detection named V-V1-8, a probably misclassified PN. NGC6445, Ml-59, M4-9 and M2-51 have been detected in CO(2-1) (J = 2-1).
