Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Molecular Spectroscopy
  • Structural Chemistry

Background:

  • Formanilide is a molecule of interest for understanding chemical bonding and structure.
  • Previous structural data may be limited, necessitating advanced spectroscopic techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the molecular structure of formanilide using high-resolution spectroscopy.
  • To assign and analyze the rotational spectrum of a specific conformer.

Main Methods:

  • Free-jet millimeter-wave absorption spectroscopy was employed.
  • Rotational transitions for both normal and ND isotopic species were measured.

Main Results:

  • The rotational spectrum of the anti-conformer (formyl hydrogen anti to the phenyl group) was successfully assigned.
