Abstract

Studies of molecular structure are discussed by paying special attention to the dynamical behavior of molecules and/or molecular systems. Two classic examples of large-amplitude motions are discussed: internal rotation in ethane and ring puckering in cyclobutane. Microwave studies on deuterated species are described. The discussion is then directed to a reaction intermediate, the vinyl radical, which exhibits a unique tunnelling motion. Finally, an application of time-resolved or kinetic spectroscopy to silane discharge plasma is presented, where the infrared spectra of SiH, SiH 2 and SiH 3 are monitored.
