photoionisation mass, and mid-IR spectroscopies, and in the solid state by Raman spectroscopy. Ab initio calculations atthe MP2(fc)/6-31G** level provide an assessment of the geometric structures and, together with the IR and Raman data, permit an almost complete vibrational analysis for each molecule, which appear, in each case, to exist in one isomeric form. The calculations indicate that anti structures for the hydrogen atom position are the most stable in all cases. For BrClCNOH, the calculations just prefer the Z-anti-structure as the thermodynamically more stable, whereas the vibrational spectroscopy, although not unambiguous, suggests the E-anti-isomer as the stereoselectively synthesised conformer. This conclusion is strengthened further by the observation that BrClCNOH (with an exclusive E-structure), favours HCl elimination upon thermolysis, thus making it a good source of the transient BrCNO molecule. Photoelectron spectroscopy, supported by ab initio calculations and trends in the dihalo series, provides an analysis of the effect of halogen substitution on the orbitals of the parent oxime species, H

首次通过He I光电子、He I和H L α,β,γ 离子化质量以及中红外光谱学对二氯甲酰肟、Cl 2 CNOH、二溴甲酰肟、Br 2 CNOH和溴氯甲酰肟、BrClCNOH的电子和几何结构进行了气相研究,并通过拉曼光谱学对固态结构进行了研究。MP2(fc)/6-31G**级别的从头计算对几何结构进行了评估,并与红外和拉曼数据一起,对每个分子进行了几乎完整的振动分析,每个分子似乎都存在一种同分异构体形式。计算表明,在所有情况下,氢原子位置的抗结构是最稳定的。对于BrClCNOH,计算只是倾向于Z-反结构作为热力学上更稳定的结构,而振动光谱学虽然不明确,但表明E-反异构体是立体选择性合成的构象。这一结论通过观察得到进一步证实,即BrClCNOH(具有独特的E-结构)在热解时有利于HCl的消除,从而使其成为瞬态BrCNO分子的良好来源。光电子光谱学在从头计算和二卤素系列趋势的支持下,分析了卤素取代对母体肟物种H 2 CNOH的轨道的影响。
