Abstract:
The low temperature spectra of the detectable species methyl hydroperoxide (CH3OOH) and three sulfur analogs, the two isomers of methanesulfenic acid (CH3SOH and CH3OSH) and the methyl hydrogen disulfide (CH3SSH), are predicted from highly correlated ab initio methods (CCSD(T) and CCSD(T)-F12). Rotational parameters, anharmonic frequencies, torsional energy barriers, torsional energy levels, and their splittings are provided. Our computed parameters should help for the characterization and the identification of these organic compounds in laboratory and in the interstellar medium.

Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview
Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...
