In conjunction with accompanying DFT and MP2 calculations, these systems are shown to adopt a nonplanar configuration in which the C=O groups point in approximately orthogonal directions. Methyl group internal rotation was fully analyzed for both species. The observed conformation of these systems appears to result from an interaction between a CH₃ hydrogen (in acetic anhydride) or the CF₂H hydrogen (in acetic difluoroacetic anhydride) with the carbonyl group to which it is not directly bound, forming a six-membered ring. The fitted rotational constants for both systems are in reasonably good agreement with calculated values, but for acetic anhydride, the agreement is somewhat worse than that previously observed for a series of <em>syn</em> anhydrides. The calculations indicate a pronounced flexing of the heavy atom frame as the CH₃ group in the six-membered ring undergoes internal rotation, and this likely influences the level of agreement between the theoretical and vibrationally averaged experimental constants. The other CH₃ group does not interact with a carbonyl oxygen because of its orientation in the molecule, and its internal rotation does not induce similar changes in the molecular frame. In the acetic difluoroacetic anhydride, it is the CF₂H hydrogen that interacts with its remote carbonyl oxygen, leaving the internally rotating CH₃ group unaffected by participation in a six-membered ring and giving rise to much smaller deviations in the rotational constants as it moves along its internal rotation coordinate. Correspondingly better agreement between experimental and theoretical spectroscopic constants is obtained.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16367,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy","volume":"403 ","pages":"Article 111926"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141411723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The observation of <em>c</em>-type lines establishes that the molecule lacks a plane of symmetry and suggests that the OH group can undergo large amplitude motion between equivalent structures. Interconversion between these structures can be achieved via internal rotation through two inequivalent barriers occurring at Cl-S-O-H torsional angles of 0 or 180<!--> <!-->degrees. As in previous work on triflic and methanesulfonic acids, two states are observed and are treated as tunneling states which are presumed to arise primarily due to motion through the lower of the two barriers. The <em>a</em>- and <em>c</em>-type transitions occur within each of these states while the <em>b</em>-type transitions cross between them. Rotational, centrifugal distortion, and chlorine nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, as well as the energy difference between the two tunneling states and associated coupling constants, have been determined. The experimental tunneling energies, <em>ΔE</em>, for the ³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl isotopologues are 52.6926(16) MHz and 52.6397(46) MHz, respectively. Quantum chemical calculations were carried out using MP2 and B3LYP density functional theory (DFT) methods with an aug-cc-pVTZ basis set. The rotational constants from the optimized structures were in good agreement with the experimental values. The lowest energy barrier for OH motion was calculated to be 2.63 kcal/mol at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level. The effects of the large amplitude motion are similar to those recently reported for triflic acid (CF₃SO₂OH) and methanesulfonic acid (CH₃SO₂OH). However, while the tunneling splittings in chlorosulfonic and triflic acids are virtually identical, they differ significantly from that of methanesulfonic acid.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16367,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy","volume":"403 ","pages":"Article 111927"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141486897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
