A theoretical study has been carried out for internal rotation of nitrosoureas at the B3LYP/6-311G* level of theory. For each nitrosourea compound, two ground state structures have been found and the E isomer is predicted to be more stable than the Z isomer. Two transition state conformations for the isomerization have also been obtained and the calculated results show that the isomerization through TS1 is easier than that through TS2. The relationship between energy barrier and toxicity has also been investigated. It is concluded that the carcinogenic potency increases along with the decrease of rotational energy barrier.


The effect on the spectrum of a molecule of the environment in which it is located depends upon the changes which the surroundings produce in the electronic, vibrational, rotational and nuclear energies of the upper and lower states of the molecule. Studies of the influence of environment in the gaseous, liquid or solid states can thus be made by any of the appropriate techniques listed in table 1, and it is clearly desirable in studying any one system to use as many different techniques as possible. A basic difference between the effect of environment on electronic and vibra­tional energy levels arises from the very much greater overlap of electron density with the environment that results from electronic excitation. Hence while for the consideration of changes which arise in the vibrational spectrum it is adequate to consider only the distortion of the curve relating the interaction energy to the intermolecular distance in the electronic ground state, for electronic spectra, how­ever, the changes in the potential curves in both upper and lower states must clearly be taken into account. Collisions between molecules in gases lead to the broadening of rotational energy levels, and much useful information on inter­molecular force fields has resulted from observations on pressure broadening of pure rotational lines in the microwave region. Both self-broadening and broadening by different foreign gases have been studied as well as the dependence of line half­width Δ v 1/2 on the rotational quantum numbers J and K (Townes & Schawlow 1955).

The (v’ = 34, J’ = 14) level of the A1Σ+u electronic state of Na2 has been selectively populated by excitation with the 578.1 nm line of a ring dye-laser with rhodamine 6G. Through collisions with (2S1/2) Na atoms, energy is transferred to neighbouring rotational levels in Na2, and the density of these levels is determined by observing the fluorescence to the electronic ground state. From previous measurements of the lifetime of the A1Σ+u state and new measurements of the intensities of collision-induced spectral lines, absolute collision cross-sections for all rotational transitions up to ΔJ = ±6 have been obtained; the total cross-section for all rotational transitions observed is: rotσtotal = 0.41 nm2.
