SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES: PART 5, THE SPECTRA AND STRUCTURE OF MONOHALOGENO-ACETONITRILES,
Abstract
The infra-red spectra of a closely related series of acetonitriles were obtained between 5,000 and 500/cm. An analysis of the fine-structure obtained for two fundamentals of fluoro-acetonitrile and of band contours in other cases shows that the molecules have the nitrile structure, XCH2 .CN (X = halogen) and not the alternative ketimine structure XCH = C = NH Frequency assignments were made and structural details deduced in each case. The spectroscopic data were used to calculate thermodynamic data for FCH2 .CN and C1CH2 .CN. (Author)
