Rotational isomerism of acetic acid isolated in rare-gas matrices: Effect of medium and isotopic substitution on IR-induced isomerization quantum yield and cis→trans tunneling rate

Rotational isomerization of acetic acid (CH3COOH) is studied in Ar, Kr, and Xe matrices. The light-induced trans→cis reaction is promoted using resonant excitation of a number of modes in the 3500–7000 cm−1 region, and the quantum yields for this process are measured for various acetic acid isotopol...
