Internal Rotation in Propionic Acid:  Near-Infrared-Induced Isomerization in Solid Argon

The conformational system of propionic acid (CH3CH2COOH) is studied in solid argon. It is predicted by the ab initio calculations that this molecule has four stable conformers. These four structures are denoted Tt, Tg±, Ct, and Cg±, and they differ by the arrangement around the C−O and Cα−C bonds. T...
