Abstract:
The electronic transition moment for the G-conformer of ethyl peroxy was determined from the experimentally measured value of the peak absorption cross-section and the simulation of its rovibronic spectrum using the results of the high resolution spectroscopy of this molecule. The resulting value is |μ(e)(G)| = 2.55(6) × 10(-2) Debye, which is compared to values from electronic structure calculations.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
