    Abstract:
    The CH-stretching overtone spectra of the methyl group in gaseous 2-CH(3) and 2-CHD(2) methylpyridines are recorded with conventional Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy in the Deltav(CH) = 1-4 regions and by intracavity laser photoacoustic spectroscopy in the Deltav(CH) = 5 and 6 regions. All spectra exhibit a complex structure. They are analyzed with a theoretical model that incorporates, within the adiabatic approximation, the coupling of the anharmonic CH-stretch vibrations described by Morse potentials with the quasifree internal rotation of the methyl group and with isoenergetic combination states involving the six angle deformation modes of the methyl group. The molecular vibrations are calculated in terms of redundant internal coordinates in an unambiguous canonical form. A simultaneous analysis of different isotopic derivatives is thus achieved. The Fermi resonance coupling parameters are those previously determined for toluene. The technique of diabatic rotations is used to disentangle the multiple avoided crossings occurring along the internal rotation coordinate theta in the calculated spectra, which become rapidly very dense owing to the low symmetry of the system. This simulation is successful in reproducing the experimental spectra. In addition, the transferrability of the Fermi resonance coupling parameters between two parent molecules is demonstrated.
