Rotational dynamics of methyl groups in durene: A crystallographic, spectroscopic, and molecular mechanics investigation

Abstract:

Neutron powder diffraction measurements of perdeutero durene in the temperature range from 1.5 K to 290 K have been performed. The lowest temperature structure is the starting point for calculations of the methyl group tunneling and librational dynamics. Ab initio methods and atom-atom potentials are used to determine rotational single particle and coupling potentials. Tunneling splittings and librational bands are calculated by numerical solution of Schrödinger's equation for a system of man...
