Microwave spectra of isotopic glycolaldehydes,substitution structure,intramolecular hydrogen bond and dipole moment

The microwave spectra of ¹³CH₂OH-CHO, CH₂OH-¹³CHO, and CH₂OH-CH¹⁸O are reported and have been used in combination with previously published data on other monosubstituted glycolaldehydes to determine the substitution structure of the molecule as r(CO) = 1.209 Å, r(C-O) = 1.437 Å, r(C-C) = 1.499 Å, r(O-H) = 1.051 Å, r(C-H_ald) = 1.102 Å, r(C-H_alc) = 1.093 Å, r(O β H) = 2.007 Å, r(O β O) = 2.697 Å, ∠(C-CO) = 122°44', ∠(C-C-H_ald) = 115°16', ∠(C-C-O) = 111°28', ∠(C-O-H) = 101°34', ∠(C-C-H_alc) = 109°13', ∠(H-C-H) = 107°34', ∠(O-H β O) = 120°33', ∠(H β OC) = 83°41', and ∠(O-H, C0) = 24°14'. The intramolecular hydrogen bond and the other structural parameters are discussed and compared to related molecules. The dipole moment is redetermined to be μ_a = 0.262 ±0.002 D, μ_b = 2.33 ± 0.01 D, and μ_tot = 2.34 ± 0.01 D. Relative intensity measurements yielded 195 ± 30 cm^?1 for the C-C torsional fundamental and 260±40 cm^?1 for the lowest in-plane skeletal bending mode. Computations performed by the CNDO/2 method correctly predict the observed cis hydrogen-bonded conformer to be the energetically favoured one and in addition yield some indication of the existence of at least two other non-hydrogen-bonded forms of higher energy.     

Microwave spectrum of 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene

The microwave spectrum of 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene has been observed in the range 12.5–18.0 GHz and 21.5–25.3 GHz at dry-ice temperature and assigned up to angular momentum state J = 39. The ground state rotational constants and the five quartic centrifugal distortion constants thus obtained are (in MHz): à = 3084.0037 ± 0.0108, B? = 1278.3614 ± 0.0062, C? = 903.6989 ± 0.0108, d_j = ( ?4.599 ± 0.621) · 10^?4, d_jk = (5.9757 ± 1.1586) · 10^?3, d_k = (11.4923 ± 2.0886) · 10^?3, d_wj = (4.0 ± 1.0) · 10^?7, d_wk=(?5.8± 1.1) · 10^?6.The small value of Δ = 0.029 (amu Ų) shows that the molecule is planar and an r₀ - structure using a regular hexagonal benzene ring with the bond lengths C-C = 1.397 Å, C-H = 1.084 Å and C-F = 1.312 Å, reproduces the rotational constants.     

Étude en ondes millimétriques des variétés isotopiques en 13c et 18o de la molécule de trioxane: Structure de la molécule

The rotational spectra of the molecules (¹³CH₂O)(¹²CH₂O)₂ and (CH₂¹⁸O) (CH₂¹⁶O)₂ have been investigated in the region 30–290 GHz. The rotational constants determined are (MHz):A = 5271.106±0.007, B = 5176.405 ±0.007, C = 2904.376±0.34 for the former, andA = 5267.34±0.3, B = 508I.106±0.3, C = 2872.378± 10 for the latter molecule.The parameter C of the parent molecule (CH₂O)₃ has been determined: 2933.95 ±0.34 MHz. With the value A = B = 5273.258 ±0.002 for the parent molecule the following structural parameters were determined: r(C-O) = 1.4205± 0.005 Å, ∠COC = 109.5±0.5°, ∠OCO = 112±0.5°.     

Λ-doublet populations in CH(A2Δ) produced in the 193 nm multiphoton dissociation of (CH3)2CO, (CD3)2CO, (CH3)2S and CH3NO2

Unequal intensities of the Λ-doublet components were observed in the CH(A²Δ-X²Π) emission following the multiphoton dissociation of (CH₃)₂CO, (CH₃)₂S and CH₃NO₂ by an ArF laser (193 nm). The power dependence of the emission intensity was estimated to be cubic (3.1±0.2) when the laser power was below ≈ 8×10¹⁷ photons cm^?2 pulse^?1. The Λ-doublet populations depended on the rotational quantum number N′ and the preferred level changed at N′ = 20. A similar behavior was observed for the CD(A²Δ) from (CD₃)₂CO. Rotational distributions show bimodal behavior, having a hump around N′ = 13 in CH(A²Δ) and N′ = 11 in CD(A²Δ). These trends indicate that the CH(A²Δ) is produced through multiple processes where stepwise mechanisms are operative via either CH₂ or CH₃, or both radicals as intermediates.     

Molecular structures of acetyl fluoride and acetyl iodide

The molecular structures of acetyl fluoride and acetyl iodide have been determined by making use of the average distances obtained in the present study together with the moments of inertia reported in the literature. The large amplitude theory for a molecule with an internal top was used in the joint analysis. The thermal-average values of internuclear distances r_g and the bond angles in the zero-point average structure Φ_z are as follows: r_g(C-O) = 1.185 ±0.002 $\text{}\text{?}$rA, r_g(C-F) = 1.362± 0.002 Å, r_g(C-C) = 1.505±0.002 Å, r_g(C-H) = 1.101 ±0.004 Å, Φ_z(OCF) = 120.7°±0.4°,Φ_z(CCF) = 110.5° ± 0.5°, Φ_z(HCH) = 109.3°±0.6° tilt(CH₃) = 0.1°±1°, for acetyl fluoride; r_g(C=O) = 1.198±0.013 $\text{}\text{?}$rA, r_g(C-I) = 2.217±0.009 Å, r_g(C-C) = 1.492±0.015 $\text{}\text{?}$rA, r_g(C-H) = 1.101 ± 0.004 Å, Φ_z(OCI) = 119.5°± 0.8°,Φ_z(CCI) = 111.7°±0.9°, Φ_z(HCH) = 110.8°±0.8° and tilt(CH₃) = 1.7°+5.4° for acetyl iodide. The uncertainties represent the estimated limits of error. The barriers V₃ to internal rotation have been reanalyzed making use of the effective moments of inertia of the methyl top estimated on the basis of the large amplitude theory and resulted in 1039 and 1176 cal mol^?1 for acetyl fluoride and acetyl iodide, respectively. The structure parameters have been compared with those of other CH₃COX (X = Cl, Br, H, CH₃) type molecules.     

On the molecular structure of (CH3)2NSO2N(CH3)2 as studied by gas electron diffraction

The following bond lengths and bond angles have been deduced from a vapour phase electron diffraction study of (CH₃)₂NSO₂N(CH₃)₂: r(C-H) 1.114 ± 0.005 Å, r(S-O) 1.432 ± 0.010 Å, r(N-C) 1.475 ± 0.013 Å, r(S-N) 1.651 ± 0.003 Å, ∠N-C-H 109.3 ± 2.0°, ∠C-N-C 118.0 ± 302°, ∠S-N-C 115.2 ± 1.1°, ∠N-S-N 110.5±1.3° and ∠O-S-O 114.7±2.5°. The sulphur bond configuration and the prevailing conformation, which was identical to that in the crystal, are discussed in relation to analogous sulphide and sulphoxide derivatives.     

Phosphineborane analogs of trimethylsilyl amides

The reaction of (CH₃)₂(BH₃)PCl with the lithium salts of acetamide, N-methyl acetamide, and N-methyl formamide produced the N(CH₃)₂(BH₃)P-monosubstituted amides. Attempts to employ the same procedure for the preparation of the bis-acetamide, the acetanilide and the N-methyl benzamide derivatives were unsuccessful. Variable temperature NMR spectroscopy revealed the presence of rotational isomers for the formamide with a population of 0.85 for the major rotamer which on the basis of the ³¹P-formyl proton coupling constants was assigned the structure where the (CH₃)₂(BH₃)P group is trans to carbonyl oxygen. The free energies of activation were determined to be 16.2 and 17.3 kcal/mol. For the other derivatives only one isomer could be detected down to—60°C. The compounds are similar to the trimethylsilyl analogs in structure and rotational populations, but the lower rotational barrier in the phosphineborane formamide derivative suggests a greater destabilization of the polar ground state amide resonance structure by the formal positive charge on phosphorus.     

Simple isotopic product rules valid for absolute and integrated infrared intensities

Microwave spectra of CH¹⁸ OCOOH, CHOC¹⁸ OOH, CHOCO¹⁸ OH, ¹³ CHOCOOH and CHO¹³ COOH are reported and have been used in combination with data on CHOCOOH and CHOCOOD to determine the molecular structure as r(C=O)_ald. = 1.174 ± 0.006 Å, r(C=O)_acid = 1.203 ±0.006 Å, r(C—O) = 1.313 ± 0.010 Å, r(C—C) = 1.535 ± 0.005 Å, r(O—H) = 0.948 ± 0.004 Å, r(C—H) = 1.104 ±0.010 Å, ald. = 123.7 ± 0.4<, 相似文献

The molecular structure of isobutane in the gas phase was investigated by combining electron diffraction data with microwave spectroscopic rotational constants of Lide.The analysis indicated that the tertiary C-H distance (r_g = 1.122±0.006 Å) was substantially longer than the average methyl C-H distance (r_g = 1.113±0.002 Å). Other structural parameters obtained were: r_g(C-C) = 1.535±0.001 Å, ∠CCC = 110.8±0.2°, and the average ∠CCH (methyl) = 111.4±0.2°.

Crystals of I are monoclinic: a = 14.459(2) Å, b = 17.197(3) Å, c = 9.822(2) Å, β = 105.923(10)°, V = 3348.6(8) ų, space group P2(1)/c, Z = 4, R _hkl = 0.0419 for 6663 reflections. Complex I is a binuclear acetamidate with bridging (NHCOCH₃)^? ligands, one of which is bound to two Pt atoms through the N and O atoms, and the other ligand is bound only through the N atom. The Pt-Pt distance is 2.987(1) Å. Crystals of II are monoclinic: a = 10.213(7) Å, b = 13.373(9) Å, c = 16.533(11) Å, β = 97.971(9)°, V = 2236(3) ų, space group P2(1)/n, Z = 4, R _hkl = 0.557 for 6462 reflections. The Pt-Pt distance is 3.057(1) Å.

The Pt-Pt distance is 3.202(1) Å.

The structure of bis(1,1,1,5.5,5-hexafluoro-2,4. pentadionato) copper(II) as determined by gas phase electron diffraction

The r_g structure of bis(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonato) copper(II) has been determined by gas phase electron diffraction. The experimental data were found to be consistent with a D_2h model in which the oxygens from the two ligands are arranged in an essentially square planar configuration about the copper atom (∠OCuO = 90.6° ± 1.2°). It was possible to obtain a precise value for the copper oxygen bond length, r_g = 1.919 ± 0.008 Å, since this distance appeared as an isolated peak in the radial distribution curve. Structural parameters for the ligand (r_g(C-O) = 1.276 ± 0.009 Å, r_g(C-C_ring) = 1.392 ± 0.015 Å, r_g(C-CF₃)= 1.558 ± 0.009 Å and r_g(C-F) = 1.339 ± 0.003 Å), while less precisely determined are, nevertheless, consistent with reported values for related molecules. A model for the rotational isomerism of the four CF₃ groups was invoked in order to explain various features in the radial distribution curve in a region from 2.5 to 5.5 Å.     

Molecular structural of the gauche and trans conformers of ethylamine as studies by gas electron diffraction

The geometrical parameters for the two conformers, gauche (g) and trans (t), of ethylamine have been determined by a joint analysis of the electron diffraction intensity measured in the present study and the rotational constants reported in the literature. The optimized geometries estimated by an SCF MO calculation with a 4-31G(N*) basis set were also used in the analysis to complement the experimental data. The bond lengths (r_g) and the bond angels (r_z) determined are r(CH)_av = 1.107(6) Å r(CN)_t = 1. 470(10)Å, r(CN)_g = 1.475(10) Å r(CC)_t = 1.531(6) Å r (CC)_g = 1.524(6) Å , ∠CCN)_t = 115.0(3)°, and ∠CCCN_g = 109.7(3)°. The uncertainties represent estimated limits of error. The difference between the CCN_g and CCN_g angles predicted by a previous ab initio calculation is confirmed. The enthalpy difference,ΔH(gt), is determined to be 306(200) cal mol⁻¹ using the abundance of the trans conformer, 46(10)%.     

Microwave spectrum and substitutional structure of CH2DF

Forty-two transitions of the microwave spectrum of CH₂DF have been observed in the region between 75 and 450 GHz. The measurement of both a-type and b-type transitions makes possible the analysis of the spectrum and the accurate calculation of the rotational constants (in MHz): = 119 675.0535 ± 0.074, = 24 043.4415 ± 0.072, ? = 22959.3732 °0.072, °j = 0.049371 ±0.00011, °_jk = 0.34268 ±0.0006, 2_k = 3,3774 ± 0.0035, δ _j = 0.002329 ± 0.000045, δ_k = 0.0687 ± 0.036. These constants, in combination with the results of earlier work on the symmetric speci r_s structure calculation based entirely on high-accuracy microwave data. The structural parameters are r_CH = 1.100 Å, r_CF = 1.383 Å, and ∠HCH = 110° 37'.     

Molecular structure and conformational composition of gaseous 1,1-dichloro-2-bromomethyl-cyclopropane and 1,1-dichloro-2-cyanomethyl-cyclopropane as determined by electron diffraction

The molecular structure of the title compounds have been investigated by gas-phase electron diffraction. Both molecules exist as about equal amounts of the two gauche conformers. There is no evidence for the presence of a syn conformer, but small amounts of this form cannot be excluded. Some of the important distance (r_a) and angle (∠_α) parameters for 1,1-dichloro-2-bromomethyl-cyclopropane are: r(CH) = 1.095(19) Å, r(C₁C₂) = 1.476(11) Å, r(C₂C₃) = 1.517(31) Å, r(CCH₂Br) = 1.543(32) Å, r(CCl) = 1.752(6) Å, r(CBr) = 1.950(13) Å, ∠CCBr = 110.5(1.9)°, ∠ClCCl = 111.9(6)°, ∠CCC = 117.5(1.3)°, σ₁ (CC torsion angle between CBr and the three-membered ring for gauche-1) = 116.2(5.6)°, σ₂ = −132.7(7.6). For 1,1-dichloro-2-cyanomethyl-cyclopropane the parameter values are: r(CH) = 1.101(16) Å, r(C₁C₂) = 1.498(9) Å, r(C₂C₃) = 1.544(21) Å, r(C₂C₄) = 1.497(33) Å, r(CCN) = 1.466(26) Å, r(CN) = 1.165(8) Å, r(CCl) = 1.754(5) Å, ∠CCCN = 113.7(2.0)°, ∠CCC = 122.8(1.6)°, ClCCl = 112.5(4)°, σ₁ = 113(13)°, σ₂ = −124(10)°.     

Molecular structure and conformation of gaseous chloroacetyl chloride as determined by electron diffraction

Chloroacetyl chloride is studied by gas-phase electron diffraction at nozzle-tip tempera- tures of 18, 110 and 215°C. The molecules exist as a mixture of anti and gauche confor- mers with the anti form the more stable. The composition (mole fraction) of the vapor with uncertainties estimated at 2σ is found to be 0.770 (0.070), 0.673 (0.086) and 0.572 (0.086) at 18, 110 and 215°C, respectively. These values correspond to an energy difference with estimated standard deviation ΔE^o = E^o_g -E^o_a = 1.3 ± 0.4 kcal mol^?1 and an entropy difference ΔS^o = S^o_g -S^o_a = 0.7 ± 1.1 cal mol^?1 K^?1. Certain of the diffraction results permit the evaluation of an approximate torsional potential function of the form 2V = V₁(1 - cos φ) + V₂(1 - cos 2φ) + V₃(1 - cos 3φ); the results are V₁ = 1.19 ± 0.33, V₂ = 0.56 ± 0.20 and V₃ = 0.94 ± 0.12, all in kcal mol^?1. The results for the distance (r_a), angle (_∠α) and r.m.s. amplitude parameters obtained at the three temperatures are entirely consistent. At 18°C the more important parameters are, with estimated uncertainties of 2σ, r(C-H) = 1.062(0.030) Å, r(CO) = 1.182(0.004) Å, r(C-C) = 1.521(0.009) Å. r(CO-Cl) = 1.772(0.016) Å, r(CH₂-Cl) = 1.782(0.018) Å, ∠C-C-0 = 126.9(0.9)°, ∠CH₂-CO-C1 = 110.0(0.7)°,∠CO-CH₂-C1 = 112.9(1–7)°, ∠H-C-H = 109.5° (assumed), ∠φ (gauche torsion angle relative to 0° for the anti form) = 116.4(7.7)°, δ (r.m.s. amplitude of torsional vibration in the anti conformer) == 17.5(4.2)°.     

Microwave spectrum and structure of CF3OOCl

The microwave spectrum of chloroperoxytrifluoromethane has been recorded from 12.5 to 40.0 GHz. Only a-type transitions were observed. The R-branch assignments have been made for both the CF₃OO³⁵C1 and CF₃OO³⁷Cl species for the ground vibrational state. The rotational constants are: A=4808± 12, B=1318.55±0.02, C=1278.28±0.02 MHz for the ³⁵CI species, and A=4748±300,B=1285.28±0.96, C=1246.80±0.96 MHz for the ³⁷Cl species. From a diagnostic least-squares adjustment to fit the six rotational constants the following structural parameters were obtained: r(C-0)=1.377±0.03 Å, r(O-O)=1.445± 0.049 Å, r(Cl-O)=1.69±0.04 Å, ∠COO=108.1±4.2°, ∠ClOOC=99.5±2.0°, and ∠tilt = 6.0±0.9° with reasonable assumptions for the three other structural parameters. The relatively large uncertainty in these structural parameters results from the large uncertainty in the A rotational constants. These parameters are compared to the corresponding ones in some other peroxides. The quadrupole coupling constants have been obtained and are discussed.     

The molecular structure of pyrazine as determined from gas-phase electron diffraction data

The structure of pyrazine (1,4 diazabenzene, C₄H₄N₄) has been determined at 333 K by means of gas-phase electron diffraction. The r_g parameters are as follows: r(C-C) = 1.339 ± 0.002 Å. r(C-N) = 1.403 ± 0.004 Å, r(C-H) = 1.115 ± 0.004 Å. ∠C-C-N = 115.6 ± 0.4°, and ∠C-C-H = 123.9 ± 0.6° (error limits are 2.5σ). At a 10% level the r_α structure does not differ significantly from the structure in the solid state, so long as high order X-ray, results corrected for librational motion are used; otherwise significantly different results are found even at the 1% level. Calculated and observed mean square amplitudes compare favourably.     

Computation of the complexation energies of BH3NH3 and BH3PH3

Extended basis set computations on SCF and CEPA level were performed for BH₃NH₃ and BH₃PH₃ to determine the complexation energy ΔE and the equilibrium distance r(BX) between the “heavy” atoms. Our CEPA results (SCF in parentheses): ΔE(BH₃NH) = ?27(?21.3) kcal/mol, ΔE(BH₃PH₃) = ?17(?11.8) kcal/mol, r(BN) = 1.65(1.68) Å, r(BP) = 1.95(1.99) Å indicate a marked influence of electron correlation on these properties.     

The molecular structure of cyclohexanone determined by gas-phase electron diffraction,including microwave data

The electron diffraction data for gaseous cyclohexanone, collected at 371 K, combined with microwave rotational constants, can be explained by a single chair conformation. Least-squares analysis of the observed data led to an r_g, r_α-structure with the following geometrical parameters: r_CO = 1.229 Å, r_C1C2 = 1.503 Å, r_C1C2 = 1.542 Å, r_C3C4 = 1.545 Å, r_CH = 1.088 Å, ∠ C-CO-C = 115.3°, ∠ CO-C-C = 111.5°, ∠ C-C-C = 110.8°, ∠ H-C-H = 106°. The sp₂ -hybridized part of the ring is less puckered, whereas the sp³ part is more puckered than in cyclohexane.
