PIECES OF THE PROPELLANE PUZZLE: AN INVESTIGATION OF ROVIBRATIONAL COUPLING

[1.1.1]Propellane (C $5$ H $6$ ) is a small ring D $3 h$ molecule with an axial bond that continues to be a topic of debate. Recently propellane was subjected to high resolution spectroscopic scrutiny for the first time, and its $ν$ ,l,J,K structure is being determined. It was found that $ν 15$ , the axial antisymmetric C-C stretching mode that has a remarkably high dipole derivative, and the $ν 12$ H wagging modes are rotationally coupled.
