Infrared spectra of the complexes of trifluoroethene with dimethyl ether, acetone, and oxirane: A cryosolution study
Infrared spectra of solutions of trifluoroethene and dimethyl ether, acetone, or oxirane in liquid krypton and liquid argon have been studied. For each Lewis base the formation of a 1:1 complex with the Lewis acid was observed. The C-H stretching of trifluoroethene being perturbed by a strong Fermi resonance, the complexes with trifuloroethene-d were also investigated and showed that in each case the hydrogen bond between the acid and base is of the traditional, red-shifting type. The structures of the complexes were investigated using ab initio calculations. These indicate that with dimethyl ether and acetone two different isomeres can be formed, but with a single one detected in the solution in each case. The Fermi resonance in the complex with unlabeled trifluoroethene is discussed using data derived form ab initio potential and dipole hypersurface calculations. The complexation enthalpies of the complexes were obtained from temperature dependent studies of the solutions and are discussed in relation to the ab initio complexation energies and Monte Carlo free energy perturbation calculations of solvent effects.
