Abstract:
The millimeter-wave spectrum of 2,3-dihydrofuran in the ground and five ring-puckering excited states has been measured in the frequency range 100-250 GHz. The ground and first ring-puckering excited states have been fitted to a two-state Hamiltonian including Coriolis coupling interaction. The determined energy difference of 18.684(7) cm-1 between these states and the a and b type coupling parameters are consistent with the ring-puckering potential function and the previously observed dependence of the centrifugal distortion constants DeltaJK, DeltaK, and deltaK. A small ring-puckering dependence of the quartic centrifugal distortion constants DeltaJ and deltaJ has been also observed. This dependence is well accounted for in terms of the ring-puckering potential function and the vibrational dependence of the rotational constants.

IR Spectrum
Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0% (complete...
