Abstract: | The rotational spectrum of the unstable molecule selenoacetaldehyde, CH3CHSe, has been studied by microwave spectroscopy between 26.5 and 40 GHz. Transitions have been measured for five abundant selenium isotopic variants. These measurements have, together with structural information from the related molecules CH3CHS and CH3CHO, allowed reliable data on the C=Se bond length (1.758 ± 0.01 Å) and the
e angle (125.7 ± 0.3°) to be derived. The spectral lines show splittings due to hindered internal rotation and using these together with the derived structure, barrier heights of 1602 cal mole−1 (6703 J mole−1) and 1648 cal mole−1 (6859 J mole−1) have been determined for the ground and first torsionally excited states, respectively. |
