Fourier transform infrared absorption spectra containing evidence for about two dozen spectral tunneling doublets are reported for gaseous tropolone(OH), tropolone (OD), and 18O,18O-tropolone(OH) in the 800 to 300 cm-1 spectral range. No FTIR absorption was detected in the 300-150 cm-1 range. The known zero-point (ZP) tunneling splitting values Delta0 = 0.974 cm-1 for tropolone(OH) (Tanaka et al.) and 0.051 cm-1 for tropolone(OD) (Keske et al.) allow vibrational state-specific tunneling splittings Deltav to be estimated for fundamentals including three with strong O...O stretching displacements [cf. for tropolone(OH) nu13(a1) = 435.22 cm-1 with HDelta13 = 1.71 cm-1 = 1.76 HDelta0, and for tropolone(OD) nu13(a1) = 429.65 cm-1 with DDelta13 = 0.32 cm-1 = 6.27 DDelta0]. The majority of Deltav splittings in the sub-800 cm-1 range are dilated relative to the isotopomer Delta0 values. The FTIR spectra demonstrate the presence of dynamic couplings and potential function anharmonicity in addition to revealing Deltav splittings and many OH/D and 18O/16O isotope effects. Approximate values are obtained for the ZP splittings 88Delta0 and 86Delta0 of the doubly and singly 18O-labeled isotopomers of tropolone(OH). The diverse values of the observed Deltav/Delta0 splitting ratios underscore the inherent multidimensionality and corner-cutting activities entering the state-specific tunneling processes of the tropolone tautomerization reaction. |
