“…In both cases, the barriers to planarity (274.2(2) cm -1 (TMS) 7 ; 440(3) cm -1 (SCB) 8 ) are considerably higher and give rise to inversion tunnelling features in the microwave and far infrared spectra. 7,[9][10][11][12][13][14] TMO has been the subject of numerous spectroscopic studies in the microwave, 3,4,15,16 millimeterwave, 17 far infrared 5,6,[18][19][20] and infrared regions. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] These investigations have largely focused on the ground and ring puckering vibrational states.…”
