The Feasibility of Determining the Carbon Framework Geometry of a Molecule From Analysis of the Carbon-13 Isotopologue Rotational Spectra in Natural Abundance
Abstract:One powerful feature of molecular rotational spectroscopy is the ability to obtain quantitative information for the positions of individual atoms in the structure through the analysis of singly-substituted isotopologue spectra. However, because the structural information comes from changes in the moments-of-inertia, the signs of the atom coordinates in the principal axis system are not available. This project explores the ability to obtain the carbon framework geometry of a molecule from isotopologue spectra. … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
