DFT calculations of structure and vibrational properties of 2,2,2-trichloroethylacetate, CH3CO2CH2CCl3

The molecular structure and conformational properties of 2,2,2-trichloroethylacetate, CH3CO2CH2CCl3, were determined by ab initio (MP2) and DFT quantum chemical calculations at different levels of theory. The theoretical study was complemented with experimental measurements such as IR and Raman spec...

Sumario:The molecular structure and conformational properties of 2,2,2-trichloroethylacetate, CH3CO2CH2CCl3, were determined by ab initio (MP2) and DFT quantum chemical calculations at different levels of theory. The theoretical study was complemented with experimental measurements such as IR and Raman spectroscopy. The experimental and calculations confirm the presence of two conformers, one with anti, gauche conformation (C1 symmetry) and another with anti, anti form (Cs symmetry). The conformational preference was studied using the total energy scheme, NBO and AIM analysis. The infrared spectra of CH3CO2CH2CCl3 are reported in the liquid and solid phases and the Raman spectrum in liquid phase. Using calculated frequencies as a guide, evidence for both C1 and Cs conformers is obtained in the IR and Raman spectra.
