Even though the two possible rotamers of methoxy-substituted indoles only differ in the orientation of a methoxy group, this slight geometry change can have a strong influence on the stabilities and further molecular properties of the conformers. In the present study, we evaluate the effect of the methyl group position on the presence of different conformers in molecular beam studies for the systems 4-, 5-, and 6-methoxyindole. By using rotationally resolved electronic Stark spectroscopy in combination with high level ab initio calculations the structures of the observable conformers have been assigned and reasons for the absence of the missing conformers discussed. Thereby, we could show that the relative ground state energies and isomerization barriers for both conformers strongly depend on the position of the methoxy group and are the main explanation for the absence of the syn conformers of 4-, and 5-methoxyindole.
