The cis,trans-conformer of carbonic acid (H2CO3),
Abstract:
generated by near-infrared radiation, undergoes an unreported quantum
mechanical tunnelling rotamerization with half-lives in cryogenic
matrices of 4–20 h, depending on temperature and host material.
First-principles quantum chemistry at high levels of theory gives a
tunnelling half-life of about 1 h, quite near those measured for the
fastest rotamerizations.
