The structure of 1,2,3,3-tetrafluorocyclopropene, C 3 F 4 , has been determined at 156 K by X-ray crystallography and in the gas phase by a combined analysis of electron-diffraction data, rotation constants derived from the microwave spectrum, and dipolar coupling constants derived from the liquid crystal 19 F NMR spectrum. Structural parameters (distances/pm, angles/deg) for the solid at 156 K and gas phase (distances (r g ), angles (∠ R )), respectively, are the following: r(C 1 . These values are in excellent agreement with those obtained in an ab initio study of the molecular geometry at the electron-correlated MP2/TZ2P level. The dipole moment of C 3 F 4 has been determined from Stark effect measurements to be 1.313(4) D.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
