Abstract: | Ab initio calculations with complete geometry optimisation have been used to study internal rotation in compounds of the type XCH = CHSH, X = CN, H, CH3 and F, with X located trans to the sulphur atom. Potential functions for the CS torsion have been obtained for each case and it has been established that the dominant framework changes accompanying internal rotation in these molecules involve the CCS angle and CS bond length. Furthermore, it has been shown that the nature of the substituent X significantly affects the molecular conformation of the SH group. The observed trends are discussed in terms of a simple model. |
