Fluorescence excitation spectra and dispersed fluorescence spectra of jet-cooled 9-methylanthracene-h12 and -d12 (9MA-h12 and 9MA-d12) have been observed, and the energy levels of methyl internal rotation (CH3 torsion) in the S0 and S1 states have been analyzed. The molecular symmetry of 9MA is the same as that of toluene (G12). Because of two-fold symmetry in the pi system, the potential curve has six-fold barriers to CH3 rotation. In toluene, the barrier height to CH3 rotation V6 is very small, nearly free rotation. As for 9MA-h12, we could fit the level energies by potential curves with the barrier heights of V6(S0) = 118 cm(-1) and V6(S1) = 33 cm(-1). These barrier heights are remarkably larger than those of toluene and are attributed to hyperconjugation between the pi orbitals and methyl group. The dispersed fluorescence spectrum showed broad emission for the excitation of 0(0)(0) + 386 cm(-1) band, indicating that intramolecular vibrational redistribution efficiently occurs, even in the vibronic level of low excess energy of the isolated 9MA molecule. |
