The barrier to internal rotation in acetaldehyde is investigated using LC (Hartree–Fock) AO MO–SCF calculations. The calculated barrier is in good agreement with experiment. For the first time, a threefold barrier is shown to be dominated by attractive interactions. The factors which give rise to this finding are discussed, as are its experimental consequences.
