The microwave spectra of the conformers of n-butyl nitrate
The microwave spectrum of n-butyl nitrate was recorded in the 5 to 20 GHz frequency range using broadband chirp and narrowband pulse excitation molecular jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometers. A quantum chemistry structural analysis yielded thirteen stable conformers. Among them, the five most energetically stable conformers were observed in the experimental spectra. The most stable conformer features a butyl chain with an anti-gauche-anti conformation (AGA) where the γ-carbon atom is about 64° out of the nitrate plane. For this conformer, spectra of all 13C and 15N minor isotopologues could be measured. The conformer with a straight butyl chain (AAA), and three other conformers (GAA, GGA, and AGG) were also observed. Accurate rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, and 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling constants could be deduced and compared to the theoretical values.
