Internal rotation, quadrupole coupling and structure of (CH 3) 3SiI studied by microwave spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations
Abstract
The microwave spectrum of (CH 3) 3SiI and its isotopic species (CH 3) 329SiI, (CH 3) 330SiI, and ( 13CH 3)(CH 3) 2SiI has been studied using a pulsed molecular beam Fourier transform microwave spectrometer in the frequency range of 3-26.5 GHz. The barrier to internal rotation, the iodine quadrupole coupling and the molecular structure were determined. Ab initio calculations were compared with the experimental results.
