Microwave Spectrum and Barrier to Internal Rotation in CH3BF2

Abstract: The microwave spectrum of CH3BF2 has been observed in the frequency range 12–33 kmc. The identifiable lines are explained in terms of a model consisting of a symmetric top (CH3) rotating with respect to an asymmetric framework (BF2) with the top axis coinciding with the (least) principal inertial axis of the molecule. The value of the barrier to internal rotation was determined to be 13.77±0.03 cal. Three moments of inertia were also obtained from the analysis: A = 10586.73 (BF2 group only), B = 8329.01, C = 4… Show more

“…Not only are methyl C-H bonds expected to be of rather low acidity but, in general, methyl groups CH 3 -E (where E represents either C or O here) undergo extremely fast rotation about the C-E bonds even in the solid state, as shown by solid-state NMR spectroscopy (Riddell & Rogerson, 1996, 1997. In addition, so far as the methyl group in compound (IV) which contains atom C37 is concerned, it is well established (Tannenbaum et al, 1956;Naylor & Wilson, 1957) that sixfold rotational barriers to intramolecular rotation are extremely low; barriers of this type are encountered when a fragment of local C 3 symmetry (such as methyl or tertbutyl) is bonded to a fragment with effective local C 2 symmetry (such as a planar ring) and the heights of these barriers are typically just a few tens of J mol À1 . In the absence of any intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the molecules in both (III) and (IV) are linked into chains by means ofstacking interactions.…”

“…(iii) a single C-HÁ Á ÁO contact in (XXIV), where the C-H bond forms part of a methyl group: not only are such bonds of low acidity but sixfold barriers to intramolecular rotation, such as those for bonds between methyl groups and aryl rings, are generally very low (Tannenbaum et al, 1956;Naylor & Wilson, 1957); and (iv) all of the C-HÁ Á ÁF contacts in (VII), (Xb) and (XXII) and the single C-HÁ Á ÁCl contact in (XXII), since it is known (Howard et al, 1996;Brammer et al, 2001) that both F and Cl when bonded to C are extremely weak acceptors, particularly from C-H bonds.…”

Contacts of the type C-HÁ Á Á occur in (VIII), (IX) and (XIV), while similar contacts of C-HÁ Á ÁO and C-HÁ Á ÁN types occur in (XIV).…”
