Perfluoro-1,2-dioxolane. A new synthesis and its gas-phase structure
摘要:
Highly pure perfluoro-1,2-dioxolane was prepared in good yields by fluorination of 2,2-difluoropropanedioyl difluoride with elemental fluorine in the presence of CsF. A gas-phase electron diffraction study results for the five-membered ring in a half-chair conformation possessing C2 symmetry and the following geometric parameters (r(a) distances and angle(alpha) angles, error limits are 3sigma values and refer to the last digit): O-O = 144.3(11) pm, O-C = 137.7(15) pm, C-C = 153.1(5) pm, (C-F)mean = 131.8(4) pm, CCC = 98.1(13)-degrees, CCO = 107.3(12)-degrees, COO = 102.9(9)-degrees, FCF = 109.8(9)-degrees and the torsional angle around the O-O bond tau(CO-OC) = 48(2)-degrees. Ab initio calculations (HF/4-21G and HF/4-21G*) confirm that this half-chair conformation is the only stable structure along the pseudorotational path and they reproduce the geometric parameters reasonably well.
