✦ Synopsis
The (S_{0}-S_{1}) electronic band spectrum in biacetyl arising from the activity of the methyl torsion modes was simulated from RHF/UHF ab initio calculations. A fit of the calculated band spectrum to the cold-jet fluorescence excitation spectrum provided an assignment of the major bands and the location of the system origin to the weak band at (22182 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}). The analysis of the warm-jet excitation spectrum revealed, that for the (S_{0}) state, the interaction between (\nu_{15}\left(a_{u}\right)) gearing and (\nu_{21}\left(b_{\mathbf{k}}\right)) antigearing modes is very small and depends mainly on the kinetic energy coupling. For the (S_{1}) excited state, the gearing and antigearing modes are widely separated as a result of a significant sine-sine potential energy coupling term. The differences in the gearing-antigearing coupling was attributed to the increased rigidity of the ((\mathrm{CO}){2}) heavy atom frame that may transmit more easily the coupling, as well as the increased flexibility in the methyl wagging coordinate in the (S{1}) upper state due to the (n \rightarrow \pi^{*}) electron excitation. c 1994 Academic Press.
