The torsional motions of jet-cooled 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene (BPEB), a prototype molecular wire, were studied using cavity ring-down spectroscopy in the first UV absorption band (316-321 nm). The torsional spectrum of 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)-2,3,... Read More about Cavity ring-down spectroscopy of the torsional motions of 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene.
