The Rotational Spectrum Of 1,1-Diiodoethane, Michael Joseph Carrillo
The Rotational Spectrum Of 1,1-Diiodoethane, Michael Joseph Carrillo
Theses and Dissertations
The first chapter of this thesis introduces the basic theory of rotational spectroscopy. This includes the theory of a rigid rotor, centrifugal distortion, and hyperfine effects. The theory behind diatomic systems is explained first, and then expanded to the asymmetric top system. The second chapter encompasses a brief overview on the development of microwave spectroscopy and discusses the instruments that were utilized during this study, namely the cavity-based and chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometers. Chapter three describes the quantum chemical calculation methods and basis sets that were applied throughout this study. Chapter four discusses the progress of data analysis of …
