Abstract The methyl torsional fine structure in the rotational spectrum of gauche butane in the vibrational ground state was investigated in the frequency range between 10 and 141 GHz. Using the internal axis method (IAM) in the formulation of Woods, all internal rotation parameters were determined with high accuracy. The barrier height of the methyl internal rotation was determined to 11.34 (29) kJ/mol (2.710 (69) kcal/mol)

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.

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.

AbstractThe rotational spectrum of HS3D in the vibrational ground state has been measured in the frequency range between 75 and 293 GHz. Up to now, about 180 Q-, 30 P-, and 70 R-branch c-type transitions have been identified. The preliminary rotational constants of the species observed support the cis-conformation established earlier from the H2S3 rotational spectrum.

The millimeter-wave rotational spectra of o-tolunitrile (C6H4CH3CN) have been investigated in the ground torsional state in the frequency range 50.0–75.0 GHz. Many high-J rotational lines with large A-E splitting due to internal rotation of the methyl top have been assigned. A least squares analysis of the A-E splitting of 92 transitions resulted in the determination of accurate values of internal rotation parameters. The observed parameters were compared with the previously reported experimental values and DFT calculation results.

The ground state rotational spectrum of methyl thiocyanate has been investigated between 7 and 300 GHz (J ≦ 38 and K_ ≦ 25). An overall fit of the measurements using the Internal Axis Method has allowed us to accurately determine the internal rotation parameters. For the A substate effective rotational parameters are given which allow the calculation of transition frequencies of possible astrophysical interest.

Abstract The pure rotational spectrum of trioxane, (H2CO)3 the trimer of formaldehyde, has been recorded with high resolution in the frequency range between 326 and 947 GHz for the main isotopomer, the 13 C, and the 18O isotopic species in the vibrational ground state. These new high J and K data reveal that the molecule is fairly rigid. For the constants determinable from the recorded high J and K spectra (J = 90 and K = 75) the rotational constant B = 5273.257 180(33) MHz,the two quartic centrifugal distortion constants DJ, and DJK, and the three sextic constants HJ, HJK, and HKJ are needed in the fit to reproduce the measured spectra within experimental accuracy. In addition, for the 13C isotopomer the sextic constants HJK and HKJ are determined as well as the off-diagonal parameters d1 and d2.


Model theoretical calculations have been made of the fine structure associated with the perpendicular vibrations of a ‘light’ symmetric top group (such as CH 3 , SiH 3 , etc.) resulting from its internal rotation with respect to an infinitely heavy planar framework. Investigations have been made of the effects on the internal rotational fine structure of the removal of the degeneracy of the perpendicular vibrations as required by the lower site symmetry. Separate calculations have been made for the cases where the removal of degeneracy is caused ( a ) by electronic effects which result in an angular variation of the appropriate force constant, or ( b ) by interaction with another vibration in the framework part of the molecule. It is found that no fine structure lines occur between the non-degenerate frequencies, but that the effect of internal rotation is to generate rotational wings outside this frequency range. The effects of a finite sixfold barrier to internal rotation on the vibrational/internal-rotational absorption band have been calculated for the degenerate and non-degenerate cases. It is shown that certain lines are split by amounts comparable to the barrier height, V 6 , which should therefore be experimentally obtainable from this type of spectrum in favourable cases. The effect of an increasing barrier is to cause more of the intensity within the overall band contour to occur in the vicinity of the vibrational frequency or frequencies, and less in the internal rotational wings, as expected on physical grounds.

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.

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.

The fluorescence excitation and dispersed fluorescence spectra of jet-cooled o- and m-toluidine were observed. Vibrational analysis of the spectra provided us with the potentials for the internal rotation of the CH3 group in both ground and excited states. In o-toluidine, a large potential barrier to the internal rotation in the ground state is practically removed in the excited state. On the other hand, a nearly free internal rotation of the CH3 group in the ground state of m-toluidine gains a large barrier by the electronic excitation. The great change in the barrier height upon the electronic excitation is more remarkable than that found for fluorotoluene. A close relationship between the barrier height and the π electron density at the ring carbon atom was found, indicating the hyperconjugation as the origin of the barrier height in the absence of steric hindrance.
