RESUMO

The structural, conformational, and configurational properties of 1,1,1-Trifluoro-N-(1,1,2,2,2-pentafluoroethyl) methanesulfinimidoyl chloride, CF3CF2NS(Cl)CF3 have been studied by vibrational spectroscopy [IR (vapor) and Raman (liquid)] and quantum chemical calculations [B3LYP, MP2 and B3PW91 levels of theory using the 6-311+G(d), 6-311+G(df) and 6-311+G(2df) basis sets]. According to these theoretical approximations, CF3CF2-N=S(Cl)CF3 exists in the gas phase as a mixture of a favored anticlinal form (CN bond anticlinal with respect to the CSCl bisector) with C1 symmetry and a less abundant syn conformer showing C1 symmetry as well (ΔG° ≈ 1.20 kcal mol(-1)). Due to the small contribution only a few corresponding vibrational modes of the syn conformer could be assigned confidently in the experimental spectra. Compared to CF3CF2-N=S(F)CF3, the replacement of F by Cl produces a clear change in NS bond length and the corresponding stretching frequency, without affecting the conformational properties.

RESUMO

The structural, conformational, and configurational properties of 1,1,1-trifluoro-N-(1,1,2,2,2-pentafluoroethyl) methanesulfinimidoyl fluoride, CF3CF2N=S(F)CF3 have been studied by vibrational spectroscopy [IR (vapor) and Raman (liquid)] and quantum chemical calculations [B3LYP, MP2 and B3PW91 levels of theory (using the 6-311+G(d) and 6-311+G(2df) basis sets). According to these theoretical approximations, CF3CF2N=S(F)CF3 might be found in the gas phase as a mixture of a favoured anticlinal form (C-N bond anticlinal with respect to the C-S-F bisector angle) and a less abundant syn conformer showing C1 symmetry as well (ΔG°≈1.5 kcal mol(-1)). However, corresponding vibrational modes for these conformers show only small shifts which would not allow confidently detecting the rather small contribution of this second form in the experimental spectra.

RESUMO

Trifluorothioacetic acid-S-(trifluoromethyl)ester, CF3C(O)SCF3, was prepared by reacting CF3C(O)Cl and AgSCF3 at 50 degrees C. The compound was characterized by (13)C-, (19)F-NMR, UV, and vibrational spectroscopy as well as by gas electron diffraction (GED) and quantum chemical calculations (HF, MP2, and B3LYP methods 6-31G(d) and 6-311+G(2df) basis sets). GED and vibrational spectroscopy result in the presence of a single conformer with C1 symmetry and synperiplanar orientation of the S-CF3 bond relative to the CO bond. This result is in agreement with quantum chemical calculations which predict the anti conformer to be higher in energy by about 4 kcal/mol. An assignment of the IR (gas) and Raman (liquid) spectra is proposed, and the GED analysis results in the following skeletal geometric parameters (r(a) and angle(a) values with 3sigma uncertainties; these parameters are thermal averages and are not inconsistent with calculated equilibrium values): C=O = 1.202(6) A, C-C = 1.525(10) A, S-C(sp(2)) = 1.774(3) A, S-C(sp(3)) = 1.824 (3) A. O=C-C = 118.7(21) degrees, O=C-S = 127.1(15) degrees, C-S-C = 99.8 (13) degrees.

RESUMO

The geometric structure and conformational properties of S-(fluoroformyl)O-(trifluoroacetyl) thioperoxide, FC(O)S-OC(O)CF3, were investigated by gas electron diffraction, matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations (B3LYP with the 6-31G and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets and MP2 with the 6-31G basis set). The experimental methods result in a mixture of two conformers with gauche conformation around the S-O bond. In the main conformer (82(7)% according to GED at 298 K), the C=O bond of the FC(O) group is oriented syn with respect to the S-O bond and phi(C-S-O-C) = 75(3) degrees . In the minor conformer (18(7)%), this C=O is oriented anti. Both conformers possess syn orientation of the C=O bond of the CF3C(O) group. The conformational properties and geometric parameters are reproduced reasonably well by the quantum chemical calculations, except for the S-O bond length, which is predicted too long by 0.04 A (B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ).

RESUMO

[structure: see text] The molecular structure and conformational properties of dimethyl monothiocarbonate, CH3OC(O)SCH3, have been studied in the gas phase by gas electron diffraction (GED) and vibrational spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. The experimental investigations were supplemented by quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) and MP2/6-311++G(2df,p) levels of approximation. The gaseous molecule exhibits only one conformation having Cs symmetry with synperiplanar orientation of both the C-S and the C-O single bonds relative to the C=O double bond. The following skeletal geometric parameters were derived from the GED analysis (r(hl) values with 3sigma uncertainties): C=O = 1.203(4) A, C(sp(2))-O = 1.335(5) A, C(sp(3))-O = 1.437(5) A, C(sp(2))-S = 1.763(5) A, and C(sp(3))-S = 1.803(5) A; O=C-O = 125.9(8) degrees , O=C-S = 125.7(7) degrees , O-C-S = 108.4(9) degrees , and C-O-C = 113.4(15) degrees . The structure of a single crystal, grown by a miniature zone-melting procedure, was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis at a low temperature. The crystalline solid [monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 12.6409(9) A, b = 4.1678(3) A, and c = 19.940(1) A, beta = 98.164(1) degrees ] exists exclusively as molecules in the synperiplanar conformation and with geometrical parameters that agree with those of the molecule in the gas phase. The results are discussed in terms of anomeric and mesomeric effects and in terms of a natural bond orbital analysis.
