Optimization of the geometrical parameters and determination of the force fields for rotamers of the title molecules were performed at the MP2(FC)/aug-cc-pVDZ//MP2(FC)/aug-cc-pVDZ computational level. The vibrational analyses of these conformers were carried out using scaled quantum-mechanical force field methodology. Recent experimental wavenumbers for these conformers and their deuteroisomers were incorporated into these analyses. The theoretical non-planar structures of the high-energy conformers of 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene (isoprene) and 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene were corroborated by good agreement between the experimental and theoretical wavenumbers of the molecules under investigation. The dihedral angles of the non-planar high-energy conformers for rotation around the =C-C= bond are as follows: 41.6^° for 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene (isoprene) and 47.0^° for 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene. Previous studies performed at the HF/6-31G level gave 41.0^° and 48.5^° for the first and second compounds, respectively.
