Abstract

Abstract The rotational spectra of the first excited state of the methyl torsion and the CCI-in plane deformation of CH3CH2I have been studied. A Coriolis interaction between these two modes has been found. Splittings of transitions in the first excited torsional state show that the barrier hindering internal rotation of the methyl group is 3.62 kcal/mole. This value agrees quite well with the value previously reported from Raman studies. It is internally consistent and similar to the other ethyl halides.
