Structure and vibrational assignment of the enol form of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione

Molecular structure of 1,1,1-trifluoro-pentane-2,4-dione, known as trifluoro-acetylacetone (TFAA), has been investigated by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and the results were compared with those of acetylacetone (AA) and hexafluoro-acetylacetone (HFAA). The harmonic vibrational frequencies of both stable cis-enol forms were calculated at B3LYP level of theory using 6-31G** and 6-311++G** basis sets. We also calculated the anharmonic frequencies at B3LYP/6-31G** level of theory for both stable cis-enol isomers. The calculated frequencies, Raman and IR intensities, and depolarization ratios were compared with the experimental results. The energy difference between the two stable cis-enol forms, calculated at B3LYP/6-311++G**, is only 5.89 kJ/mol. The observed vibrational frequencies and Raman and IR intensities are in excellent agreement with the corresponding values calculated for the most stable conformation, 2TFAA. According to the theoretical calculations, the hydrogen bond strength for the most stable conformer is 57 kJ/mol, about 9.5kJ/mol less than that of AA and about 14.5 kJ/mol more than that of HFAA. These hydrogen bond strengths are consistent with the frequency shifts for OH/OD stretching and OH/OD out-of-plane bending modes upon substitution of CH(3) groups with CF(3) groups. By comparing the vibrational spectra of both theoretical and experimental data, it was concluded that 2TFAA is the dominant isomer.     

Crystal and molecular structure oftrans-bis-(1,1,1-trifluoro-5-methoxy-5-methyl-2,4-hexanedionato) copper(II)

A combined X-ray diffraction study of the single crystals (Enraf-Nonius CAD-4 automatic diffractometer, MoK_α radiation, graphite monochromator) and polycrystals (DRON-UM1, CuK_α radiation, Ni filter) of a new volatile complex of Cu(II) obtained from fluorinated alkoxy-Β-diketone, CF₃-CO-CH₂-CO-C(CH₃)₂OCH₃, is reported. The compound has a molecular structure; the crystals consist of trans-bis(1,1,1-trifluoro-5-methoxy-5-methyl-2,4-hexanedionato)copper(II) complexes. The structure was refined anisotropically for 2314 independent reflections with I > 2Σ(I) to R = 0.069. Crystal data: a = 24.469(3), c = 10.581(2) å, V = 5486.4 å³, space group R3, Z = 9, d_calc = 1.17 g/cm³. The complexes are packed to form through channels ≈5 å in diameter along the c axis, with terminal fluorine atoms facing the channels. The crystal-chemical data of the compound are compared with those of the nonfluorinated analog, trans-bis(2-methoxy-2,6,6-trimethylheptane-3,5-dionato)copper(II). The introduction of CF₃ groups into alkoxy-Β-diketone considerably decreases the sublimation temperature of the complex. The geometrical characteristics of chelate nodes in the complexes are almost equal: the Cu-0 distances are 1.92 å and the O-Cu-0 bond angles 92.1? (average). In both cases, the square planar environment of the Cu atom is completed to bipyramidal by interactions with the oxygen atoms of the methoxy groups of the neighboring molecules, with Cu...O distances being 2.8 å.

Analysis of the strength of hydrogen bonds within the limits of supermolecular approximation based on the results of calculations by DFT method has been carried out and were found to correlate with experimental observations.
