Cis→trans conversion of formic acid by dissipative tunneling in solid rare gases: Influence of environment on the tunneling rate.
The relaxation of the higher-energy cis conformer of formic acid to the lower-energy trans form by a tunneling mechanism has been investigated in low-temperature rare gas matrices. In the temperature range 8–60 K, the tunneling takes place dominantly from the vibrational ground state of the cis form...
