INFRARED AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES ON MOLECULAR CONFORMATIONS OF F(CH2)nF (n=3-6)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1982.951

The infrared and Raman spectra of F(CH2)_nF (n=3-6) were measured and analyzed on the basis of the normal coordinate treatment.The spectral analyses indicated that the molecule in the solid state takes the gauche-gauche conformation for n=3, gauche-trans-gauche' for n=4, gauche-trans-trans-gauche for n=5, and gauche-trans-trans-trans-gauche' for n=6.
