Abstract

The molecular structure and conformational stability of (trifluorosilylmethyl) cyclopropane (TFSMCP), C3H5 CH2 SiF3, with respect to the Cring CH2 and the Si CH2 axes have been studied by gas-phase electron diffraction and ab initio calculations using the basis sets 3-21G∗, 4-21G∗ and 6-31G∗∗. The electron diffraction conformational analysis with respect to the Cring C bond has provided an anticlinal: synperiplanar conformational ...
