A New Type of Intramolecular Coupling Highlighted.

Published in Physical Review Letters and featured by CNRS Physique, this work led by researchers from ISMO and PhLAM (Laurent MARGULES et Roman MOTIYENKO) reveals a novel coupling between electronic spin and internal rotation of the methyl group in the CH₃CO radical. This discovery opens new perspectives in molecular spectroscopy and astrochemistry.
