Methyl and vinyl torsional potential functions in 4-methylstyrene from supersonic jet fluorescence spectroscopy
Abstract
A methyl torsional potential with V6=–17 ± 4 cm–1 in S1 has been obtained for 4-methylstyrene from supersonic jet fluorescence excitation spectra. For S0, dispersed fluorescence spectra give V6=–17 ± 1 cm–1 for methyl and V2= 943 ± 58 cm–1 and V4=–208 ± 31 cm–1 for vinyl torsion.
