Popis: | Laser excitation spectra with v=0, 2, 4, and 6 in the A 1B2–X 1A1 26v0 progression of jet‐cooled 18O/16O isotopomers of tropolone are reported. The isotope shift for ν26, an out‐of‐plane deformation mode at 39 cm−1 in the A state, is 2% for tropolone‐18O18O. This large 18O isotope effect indicates that Q26 for tropolone resembles the analogous normal mode of tropone, which is a ring deformation towards the boat conformation of 2, 4, 6‐cycloheptatriene accompanied by a large O atom displacement. Tunneling by tropolone in the A state is quenched by exciting the 26v overtone states and a mechanism for this quenching is proposed in terms of the indicated normal coordinate. Tunneling splittings are |
