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.

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)

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.

Abstract We have performed an investigation of the internal rotation of the methyl group in trans-cis ethyl vinyl ether by using molecular beam-Fourier transform Microwave (MB-FTMW) spectroscopy. Rotational spectra (up to J = 20) were recorded in the frequency region 4-19 GHz. Due to the internal rotation of the methyl group, some rotational transitions were split and the torsional barrier could be determined to V3 (CH3) = 1074.4(4) cm-1 .

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.

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.

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.

The rotational spectra of the ground state and of one vibrational satellite of 2,3-benzofuran have been measured by millimetre-wave absorption free jet spectroscopy in the frequency range 60-78 GHz. The value of the inertial defect (-0.072 uÅ2) shows the molecule to be planar. The shifts of the rotational constants in going from the ground to the excited state indicate that the observed vibrational satellite does not belong to the two lowest energy motions, the butterfly and 1,3-ring-twisting, which undergo relaxation upon the supersonic expansion.

AbstractMicrowave Fourier transform spectroscopy was used to reinvestigate the rotational spectra of cisand trans-2,3-dimethyloxirane. The potential barriers hindering the internal rotation, internal rotation parameters, and partial rs-structures were determined.
