Abstract
The rotational spectrum of neutral dopamine has been investigated for the first time using a combination of Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy with laser ablation. The parameters extracted from the analysis of the spectrum unequivocally identify the existence of seven conformers of dopamine. (14)N nuclear quadrupole coupling interactions have been used to determine the orientation of the amino group probing the existence of stabilizing N-H···π interactions for all observed conformers.Entities:
