CO2–HF: A linear molecule

Abstract: The results of microwave and radio frequency spectroscopy of the weakly bound complexes of hydrogen fluoride with carbon dioxide and carbonyl sulfide are presented. The following spectroscopic constants are determined:                           A nearly linear hydrogen bonded equilibrium structure with an O–H bond length of ∼1.9 Å is consistent with all the experimental data. The stretching force constant, estimated from the distortion constant to be ks = 0.021 mdyne/Å for CO2–HF, appears anomalously small for… Show more

“…The most important factor for stability of structure is the comparison of Gibbs energy under various temperatures. Comparing Gibbs energy differences, as shown in Table I, proved that the linear structure was favored by the ⌬G calculation for an ordinary experimental temperature of T Ͼ 40 K. This result is consistent with the experimental findings of Klemperer and colleagues [21]. The following problems were simplified by selecting the linear structure of the CO 2 .…”

“…HF, as shown in Figure 2, were demonstrated: a bent type and linear type (see Ref. [24]; also note the d CAO of the monomer from Table C.12 of Ref. [25] and the d HF of the monomer from Table 3.1 of Ref.…”

“…This system has been the subject of a number of previous microwave 24,25 and infrared [26][27][28][29] spectroscopic studies from which it is known that the complex is linear, with the H-F subunit hydrogen bonded to the carbon dioxide. The F-center laser used in the present study is ideally suited to excite the H-F stretching vibration located near 3909.32 cm Ϫ1 .…”

“…Nevertheless, there is an apparent contradiction between the computed bent structure and the experimental linear structure [2]. This may be resolved by noting that there are two equivalent bent equilibrium structures on the intermolecular surface which are easily interconverted, since the potential curve joining them is very flat.…”
