2 Indole Chromophore of the amino acid tryptophan; responsible for the bulk of UV absorption in proteins Motivation : Methylated Indoles Internal rotor problem with quadrupole coupling As a learning experience Methyl substitution and torsional barrier Position of substitution/ symmetry of electronic distribution/ barrier to methyl internal rotation

3 Fitting Strategy 1.Rotational constants estimated Geometry optimization at MP2/6-311++G(d,p) 2.Barrier height estimated Relaxed potential scan at wB97XD/6-311++G(d,p) 3.A component line centers were fitted RRFIT/ZFAP 4.Quadrupole hyperfine components were fitted QUAD2 5.A and E components fitted simultaneously XIAM
