- Abstract
- Proton tunneling between the two equivalent structures of malonaldehyde through a substantial barrier is accelerated by more than a factor of 3 to approximate to 0.24 ps by OH-bend excitation in phase with suitable motions of the molecular backbone. This is derived from a combined FTIR and Raman spectroscopy study in supersonic jets and rare gas matrices and compared to previous theoretical predictions.
