Abstract The ground state rotational spectrum of ethyl cyanide has been reinvestigated between 8 and 250 GHz. The barrier potential V3 is calculated from 11 high J, ground state transitions which were found split into doublets. V3 is 3007 cal/mole, assuming Iα = 3.167 u Å2 and ∢ (i,a) = 48.65°. The splittings of the K-doublet transitious have also been analyzed.

Abstract We present an analysis of the rotational spectrum of ethylchloride-35Cl in the ground state. The 35Cl-hfs analysis was extended and the barrier to internal rotation determined from narrow splittings of high J-transitions.

For ethylbromide a determination of the parameters of internal rotation is given derived from the rotational spectrum of the torsional and vibrational ground state. The Br-hyperfine structure is reanalysed with higher precision. As high J transitions were measured a centrifugal distortion analysis was necessary.

Abstract The barrier hindering internal rotation of the methyl group was determined by analysing the splittings of rotational lines in the ground state. So model errors are minimized. The assignment was checked by double resonances and a centrifugal distortion analysis.

The internal rotation barrier V3, the moment of inertia Iα of the methyl tops and the angle between the two internal rotation axes were determined from the torsional fine structure of the rotational spectrum in the torsional ground state. A tilt angle of 1.4° of the methyl groups toward each other results.

With 1-butyne a series of barrier determinations from rotational spectra in the torsional ground state of ethyl compounds was continued. The barrier is different to the value from an analysis of the rotational spectrum of the first torsional state.

We present the determination of the methyl barrier to internal rotation from the rotational spectrum in the ground state of 2-fluoropropene. A complete set of barrier parameters could be determined. The results are compared with those of 2-chloro- and 2-bromopropene, achieved by the same technique and evaluation method.

Abstract We used the advanced technique of Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy to measure and assign the ground state rotational spectrum of anti-2,3-dimethylthiirane, and to analyse the internal rotation of the two methyl groups. The potential parameters obtained are V3 = 13.1678(21) and V12' = -1.6678(25) kJ/mol. The measurement and assignment of the 13C and 34S isotopomers in the ground state allowed to determine the molecular structure of the heavy atom frame using the Τs and Τ0 methods.

The ground state rotational spectrum of the trans n-propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH) has been reinvestigated expanding the frequency region, with respect to a previous study, from 8 to 40 GHz. A centrifugal distortion analysis has been carried out by measuring new transitions, including μa- transitions not observed before. The potential barrier V3 to the methyl top internal rotation has been determined from fourteen transitions which were found split into doublets. V3 is 2730 ± 60 cal/mole, ∢(i, a) = 29° ± 1°, assuming Ia = 3.193 uÅ2.

Abstract The ground state rotational spectrum of 5-methylisoxazole has been studied in the region 18 000 -36 000 MHz. The A and E state transitions have been assigned.The rotational constants are A = 9230.831 MHz, B = 3559.334 MHz and C = 2610.255 MHz and the three-fold barrier to internal rotation of the methyl group was calculated to be 777.2 ± 5.5 cal mol-1 .
