On the Theory of Torsional Vibrations of (CH3)3—X Type Molecules

Torsional vibrations of (CH3)3—X type molecules having C3v point group symmetry have been analyzed by using a periodic potential function, and by taking into account mutual top—top interaction terms. The energy scheme was calculated by perturbation methods, and the selection rules have been derived....

Description
Summary:Torsional vibrations of (CH3)3—X type molecules having C3v point group symmetry have been analyzed by using a periodic potential function, and by taking into account mutual top—top interaction terms. The energy scheme was calculated by perturbation methods, and the selection rules have been derived. For the high-barrier case, two allowed transitions from the ground state to the first excited state can be predicted.
