Torsional vibration of acrolein
Abstract
The sub-bands of the torsional vibration of acrolein have been resolved. The marked degradation indicates a change of about 2.7% in the rotational constant A in the first torsionally excited state. This results in the R branch being much more intense than the P branch. Some further contribution to the R branch intensity is considered to be due to the difference band ν13–ν18(Brand's notation9) enhanced by Fermi resonance ν13 with 2ν18.
