Dissimilarities with Diphenylmethane: Multiple Conformers
Three distinct conformers are anticipated in a supersonic jet expansion:E(dd) = 0 cm–1 E(uu) = 5 cm–1 E(du) = E(ud) = 10 cm–1
The barriers to conformational isomerization in the S0 state are 20–50 cm–1.What are the barriers to conformational isomerization in the S1/S2 state?
