We present experimental and calculated vibration–rotation spectra as a function of temperature for the methoxy species (–OCH3 and –OCD3) chemisorbed on an alumina surface. The axis of rotation is the C–O bond axis. The model for our calculations is that of free rotation, and we describe the methods employed here in full detail. The qualitative agreement between the calculated and experimental spectra suggests that the adsorbed methoxy species is undergoing free rotational motion about the C–O bond axis.
