Abstract

The determination of the structure of molecules is a problem which was solved a long time ago, at least at first sight. Gas-phase electron diffraction appeared indeed at the beginning of the thirties and, at the same time, quantum mechanics permitted, at least in theory, to calculate the structure of small molecules. During the first phase of electron diffraction studies (up to the fifties), accuracy was relatively low, about 2-3 pm for bond lengths and 2° to 4° for angles. At that time, the performance of ab initio calculations was even worse. The field of gas-phase structure determination is however a continuously evolving field. It was revolutionized again after the second world war with the apparition of microwave spectroscopy. More recently, laser-based infrared spectroscopy [1] and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy [2,3] permitted the recording of high resolution rovibrational spectra and the determination of accurate molecular constants. A striking example of the progress is that in the early sixties the accuracy of the measurements around 10 μm was a few hundreds of MHz whereas now it can be as high as a few tens of Hz.
