Structure, conformer energy difference, and dynamics of acrolein molecule in 1,3 ( n ,π*) electronic states were investigated by means of diverse single‐ and multireference quantum‐chemical methods. Valence focal‐point analysis of conformer energy difference in 3 ( n ,π*) state was performed. Some reassignments of fundamentals of s ‐ trans conformer were proposed. Internal rotation in 1,3 ( n ,π*) states was shown to be coupled with nonplanar vibration of carbonyl fragment. Two‐dimensional PES sections were constructed, and the corresponding two‐dimensional vibrational problem was solved. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2008
