Popis: From the experimental value for the fundamental twisting-frequency in ethylene, the magnitude of a certain carbon-carbon exchange integral J is determined as 0.72 ± 0.10 electron-volts. According to this result, the energy needed to twist one of the CH2 groups through an angle π/2 with respect to the other about the C-C axis is 1.0 ± 0.2. This agrees well with the experimental value for the heat of activation of dimethyl maleate to dimethyl fumarate.
