This
review encompasses the considerations that must come into play when dealing
with molecules or hydrogen bonded crystals where there are two or more
equivalent potential energy minima and those cases where isotopic replacement
influences the relative energy or spectral properties such as 13C NMR chemical
shifts. In such cases the properties of the zero- point level must be
investigated. The specific cases discussed are changes in the relative energies
of polymorphic crystal structures, the effect of deuterium substitution on the
13C NMR chemical shifts and the hyperfine coupling constant of a radical
species involving addition of either muonium or hydrogen atom. We discuss first
molecules with double minimum potentials: ammonia, the potentially aromatic
[18] annulene and polyacetylene. Ammonia has minima in its potential energy at
equivalent out of plane positions with a maximum at the D3h planar geometry.
The vibrational energy levels of the out of- plane bending mode of the ground
electronic state of NH3 are shown in the lower part of Figure 1. The pattern of
levels in the 1A1 ground state is due to tunneling splitting. The excited
electronic state is D3h symmetric at its minimum. Raman transitions excited
with 212.8 nm radiation are shown [1]. [18]annulene Figure 2. with N = 4n+2 for
n = 4 is potentially aromatic. X-ray diffraction gives D6h symmetry for this
material, but this structure does not agree with calculations of proton NMR.
