Rotationally resolved electronic spectra of three different conformers of 5-methoxytryptamine were recorded in a molecular beam. 5-Methoxy substitution reduces the number of observed conformers to three compared to seven that have been reported for tryptamine. Quantum chemical calculations indicate that anti-rotamers of the methoxy-group are more stable relative to the syn-forms. Two gauche structures (Gpy(in) and Gph(in)) of the ethylamino group with respect to the indole chromophore were found to be less stable than the other seven. The lowest electronically excited state has been identified as the 1Lb one for all observed conformers which was confirmed by quantum-chemical calculations. Based on the comparison of rotational constants obtained from fits using evolutionary algorithms with those from calculations, the three observed conformers were determined to be the Gpy(up), Gph(up), Gpy(out) ethylamino side-chain conformations.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
