Conversion of ortho and para nuclear spin isomers of methanol studied by internal axis method

Quantum statistics of identical nuclei in molecules gives rise to nuclear spin isomers. Except for methanol (CH3OH) that has internal rotation (i.e., torsion), all the studied molecules so far have overall rotational symmetry. Methanol does not rotate around the overall rotational symmetry axis but...
