Abstract

A recently proposed explanation of an apparent discrepancy between the spectroscopically and thermodynamically determined torsional potential of the ethylene molecule is examined and found to be inadequate. Elaboration of the model, which involves coupling between two internal low-frequency large-amplitude degrees of freedom is carried out in terms of the generalized Jacobi vector (GJV) model to a point which involves a coupled states calculation.
