Effect of a High cis-Barrier on the Microwave Spectrum of Hydrogen Peroxide

Abstract

The frequency spectrum in the microwave region and the Stark effect are obtained for the case of a potential function with a high cis‐peak and a low trans‐peak. Using the presently available experimental data on H₂O₂ it is not possible to determine whether this potential function or the cis‐peak equal trans‐peak potential function is correct. It is shown, however, that the microwave data can answer this question if sufficient resolution is obtained.
