Abstract

The influence of antisymmetrization on the shape of internal rotation potential surfaces was investigated using potential curves with or without antisymmetrization. It is found that, at room temperature the population of excited torsional levels increase due to the reduction in torsional energy level spacing. The results show that exchange interaction for ethane, disilane and methanol increases the torsional amplitude and level splittings.
