THE ROTATIONAL SPECTRUM OF ETHANOL $(CH_{3}CH_{2}OH)$ IN THE HYDROXYL TORSION GROUND STATE.
Publisher:
Ohio State UniversityAbstract:
The ground state spectrum of the asymmetric hydroxyl internal motion in ethyl alcohol has been studied in the millimeter-wave region. The spectrum of and interactions between the three different OH torsional sub-states or rotational isomers (trans, gauche + and gauche-) are discussed. Approximately 1000 transitions have been assigned to the three different torsional substates including many with significant deviation from a standard asymmetric rotor pattern. This work extends the previous trans $state^{1}$ and gauche $states^{2}$ analyses and provides experimental data for a more complete formulation of a molecular Hamiltonian for the asymmetric $hydroxy^{1}$ internal rotation.
