Determination of the Rotational Barrier in Ethane by Vibrational Spectroscopy and Statistical Thermodynamics
Ercolani, Gianfranco
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n11 p1703-1708 Nov 2005
The finite-difference boundary-value method is a numerical method suited for the solution of the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation encountered in problems of hindered rotation. Further, the application of the method, in combination with experimental results for the evaluation of the rotational energy barrier in ethane is presented.
