High-Barrier Multi-DimensionalTunneling Formalism

Goal

To parameterize high-resolution spectra of

floppy molecules to experimental accuracy

without knowledge of the potential surface

Diatomic Example: Parameterize rotational levels as BJ(J+1) – DJ2(J+1)2 instead of starting from an ab initio potential curve V(r)

Parameterize to measurement accuracy

Modern microwave measurements: 20 000.002 MHz or 200 000.02 MHz1 part in 107 = 8 significant figures

Requires energy calculations: with 8 + 1 + 1 = 10 significant figures = E' E" and no computational error

Molecule List + How to Classify LAMs

Use Vocabulary from Reciprocating Engine:

(converts) to-and-fro of piston (to) circular motion of crankshaft

Piston = N atom inversion, H atom transfer, H-bond exchange Crankshaft = CH3 top, OH2 top, H migration

If Point Group, Permutation-Inversion Group, and types of motion are the same, thenthe Tunneling Hamiltonian is the same.

1. Point group at equilibrium the number of frameworks

2. Tunneling Hamiltonian matrix itself

3. Permutation-Inversion group symmetry as transformation of variables

4. Time reversal complex conjugation

Can we use Coudert’s existing program to fit Oka et al.’s 500 assigned lines in the 3 C-H stretching region ???

Gabrys, Uy, Jagod, Oka, Amano on C2H3+

in J. Phys. Chem. 99 (1995) 15611, say:

“We hope that the observed splittings shown in Table 4 and Figure 3 will be quantitatively explained some day.”

Unknown factor:

What is the magnitude of randomvibrational perturbations at 3 ?

Tunneling splittings 0.1 to 0.2 cm-1

If perturbations < 0.05 cm-1, try to fit.

If perturbations > 0.2 cm-1, it’s hopeless.

Next slide shows attempt to fit K = 0 splittings.K = 1 and 2 fits are similar, but with differentamplitudes, damping, and periods.

Conclusion (as of 20 June 2009):

We have in hand a theoretical high-barrier tunneling-formalism fitting program for Oka’s C2H3

+ H-migration rotational energy levels.

Before this Columbus meeting, there were some problems with the fit. At this Columbus meeting Laurent Coudert, Takeshi Oka, and I (a) were able to …(b) were not able to …
