A rigorous description of the energy spectrum of the isopropanol molecule taking into account the internal rotation of hydroxyl

Abstract

Using the methods of a group chain, a rigorous algebraic model is constructed to describe the energy spectrum of the isopropanol molecule (CH₃)₂CHOH with an allowance for the internal rotation of hydroxyl. The model is rigorous in the sense that its correctness is limited only by the correctness of a chosen symmetry of internal dynamics of the molecule.
