Abstract
The torsional far infrared and Raman spectra of gaseous CH3OCH3, CD3OCH3, and CD3OCD3 are presented. They are analyzed using a computer program which is based on the results of an extensive investigation of the isometric groups and of the symmetry groups of the rotation–internal rotation Hamiltonians of a series of semirigid two-top models. Four or more Fourier coefficients of the potential functions in two variables could be determined for each isotope. Strong evidence was found for Fermi-resonance-type interactions with the COC bending mode.
