Rotational isomerization of small carboxylic acids isolated in argon matrices: Tunnelling and quantum yields for the photoinduced processes

The quantum yields for internal rotation around the C–O bond induced by excitation of the first overtone of the hydroxyl stretching mode in formic, acetic, and propionic acids isolated in solid Ar are comparatively discussed. The tunnelling kinetics for isomerization from the higher energy arrangeme...
