Abstract
The rotational spectrum of 2’-aminoacetophenone has been recorded and assigned using a Stark-modulated Free-Jet Absorption Millimeter-Wave (FJ-AMMW) spectrometer in the 59.6–74.4 GHz frequency range. Some transition lines show a hyperfine structure due to the internal rotation of the methyl group. A global fitting including previous measurements performed in the microwave region allowed the determination of the and quartic centrifugal distortion constants and methyl internal rotation barrier = 644(3) cm−1 value. The A–E tunnelling splitting is estimated to be = 23 MHz. Calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level underestimate the height of the barrier by about 23 cm−1. This difference increases to 150 cm−1 with B3LYP-D3(BJ)/Def2-TZVP.
