Abstract

The methylamine potential energy function for the torsion and wagging vibration motions depend upon the HNH bendijng angle of the amine groun (1). By using the RHF/MP2 approximation and a 6-31G++(3df, 3pd) basis set the energy potential surface and the kinetic parameters are calculated by considring the HNH angle a constant and considering it as a variable. With the former results the expremental inveraion barrier (2) reported in the literature can be properly reproduced. With a suitable symmetry adupted potential funtion the torssonal-wagging energy levels are calculated and compared with available experimetantal dats (3). The former work introduces the NHN bending angle as a third variable in the torisional-wagging FIR spectrum and is an initial step in considering the methylamine as a three dimensional non-rigid molecule.
