Abstract
The vapor-phase absorption spectrum of oxalyl chloride in the 3000-4180Â Ã
region has been re-examined at high resolution. Singlet-singlet AË1AuâXË1Ag and singlet-triplet aË3AuâXË1Ag electronic transitions of the trans-conformer found in the spectrum are in agreement with earlier works [W.J. Balfour, G.W. King, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 26 (1968) 384-397; ibid. 27 (1968) 432-442]. Torsion levels of trans-oxalyl chloride in the ground XË1Ag and excited AË1Au and aË3Au states were found for the first time. Ab initio calculations of structures for conformers of oxalyl chloride in the ground and lowest excited electronic states explain the absence of second conformer transitions in the vibronic absorption spectrum.
