Abstract

The 2-methoxybenzoic acid (o-anisic acid) and its complexes with water have been studied in the 2-12 GHz frequency region combining chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy (CP-FTMW) and molecular Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy (MB-FTMW). o-Anisic acid has been vaporized using a heating nozzle were it partially reacts through a recombination reactions to give a series of products which have been all identified from its microwave spectra. Apart from these species, three different conformations for o-anisic acid, with distinct dispositions of carboxylic group, and two for the 1:1 water complex have been observed. For the lowest energy conformer of the monomer and the most abundant water complex, the spectra of various isotopologues have been measured and the molecular structures have been determined. Relative intensity measurements have been done to provide a better understanding of the complex formation in the supersonic expansion.
