Popis: Glycolic acid isolated in Ar has been found to undergo conformer isomerization by broad band IR irradiation. Analysis of the spectra of CH 2 OHCOOH, CH 1 2 8 OHCOOH CH 2 OHC 1 8 OOH, CH 2 OHCO 1 8 OH, CH 2 OHC 1 8 O 1 8 OH and 13 C isotopic modifications based on a two-conformer model allows the determination of the structure of a new conformer produced by photoconversion as For this result, observation of 1 8 O isotope shifts is essential. Ab initio calculations on the 6–31G* level are reported for eight conformers with a planar skeleton and for some non-planar conformations possibly involved in the reaction path. Furthermore a constrained valence force field for trans glycolic acid based on certain transferability rules is reported.
