Vf. Traven' et al., Electronic structure of pi systems: XVIII. Photoelectron spectrum and crystal structure of 3-acetyl-4-hydroxycoumarin, RUSS J G CH, 70(5), 2000, pp. 798-808
Tautomeric forms of 3-acetyl-4-hydroxycoumarin in the gas phase and in crys
tal were studied by photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffaction, and quant
um chemistry, It was shown that both in the gas and solid phases this compo
und prefers the 3-acetyl-4-hydroxycoumarin tautomeric form.
