Abstract
The rotational spectra of two conformers of the difluoroacetic acid–formic acid complex have been identified by pulsed jet Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. They differ from each other depending on the trans or gauche arrangement of the terminal ACHF2 group. The gauche form displays a doubling of the rotational transitions, from which the internal rotation barrier hindering the two equivalent gauche forms has been estimated to be 101.8(3) cm1. The increase of the distance between the two monomers upon OH?OD deuteration (Ubbelohde effect) has been determined.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
