Examination of low-lying rovibrational states of D₃[subscript h] oblate top molecules using high resolution FTIR and coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopies

Creator:

Kirkpatrick, Robynne

Abstract:

Interesting rovibrational characteristics of two D_(3h) oblate symmetric top molecules were studied. Hamiltonian models for the fine rovibrational level structure of [1.1.1]propellane (propellane) were obtained for many low-lying modes. Ground state parameters (GSP) that are not exclusively K^(2n) dependent were obtained. Initially, the GSP were used in conjunction with density...

High Resolution Spectroscopy of Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane

Creator:

Martin, Matthew A.

Abstract:

The strained carbon ring, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, was synthesized by a reaction between 1-(phenylsulfanyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, prepared from propellane, and Raney nickel. Infrared spectra were recorded at a resolution of 0.0015 cm-1, a resolution significantly better than previous measurements, 0.06 cm-1. A single fundamental band was analyzed to determine the ground state and excited...
