AbstractThe barrier heights (V3) hindering methyl internal rotation were determined with microwave Fourier transform spectroscopy from the ground vibrational state for the title molecules and found to be V3 = 3.336(52) kcal/mol for ethyl isocyanide, V3 > 3.1 kcal/mol for iso-propyl isocyanide, V3 = 2.894(23) kcal/mol for gauche-n-propyl isocyanide and V3 = 2.954(22) kcal/mol for transn- propyl isocyanide. The quadrupole coupling constants of iso-propyl isocyanide are χaa = 179.3(31) kHz, χbb = -140(15) kHz and χcc - 39(15) kHz; the constants of trans-n-propyl isocyanide were determined to be χaa = 268.1 (71) kHz, χbb = - 108(23) kHz and χcc = - 160(23) kHz.
