The rotational spectrum of 2'-hydroxyacetophenone has been recorded and assigned for the first time using a Stark-modulated free-jet absorption millimeter-wave (FJ-AMMW) spectrometer in the 59.6-74.5 GHz frequency range. The most stable conformer has been detected and assigned: = 2277.076(11), = 1212.113(5) and = 795.278(5) MHz. It is characterized by a Cs symmetry where a strong hydrogen bond between the acetyl oxygen atom and the hydroxyl atom takes place. The transition lines show a fine structure due to the internal rotation of the methyl group, which allowed the determination of a V3 = 565.1(5) cm-1 barrier. The corresponding tunneling splittings have been estimated to be 51 MHz. Calculations at the B3LYP-D3(BJ)/Def2-TZVP level underestimate the height of the barrier by about 156 cm-1. This value decreases to 25 cm-1 with MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ.
首次使用斯塔克调制自由射流吸收毫米波(FJ - AMMW)光谱仪在59.6 - 74.5 GHz频率范围内记录并归属了2'-羟基苯乙酮的转动光谱。检测并归属了最稳定的构象体: = 2277.076(11)、 = 1212.113(5)和 = 795.278(5) MHz。其特征为具有Cs对称性,其中乙酰基氧原子与羟基原子之间形成了强氢键。由于甲基的内旋转,跃迁线呈现出精细结构,据此确定了一个V3 = 565.1(5) cm-1的势垒。相应的隧穿分裂估计为51 MHz。在B3LYP - D3(BJ)/Def2 - TZVP水平的计算低估了势垒高度约156 cm-1。使用MP2/aug - cc - pVTZ时,该值降至25 cm-1。
