Le. Fernandez et al., INFRARED AND RAMAN-SPECTRA AND AB-INITIO CALCULATIONS FOR NORMAL AND DEUTERATED TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFONAMIDE, SPECT ACT A, 53(2), 1997, pp. 189-197
Trifluoromethanesulfonamide, CF3SO2NH2, was studied as a polycrystalli
ne substance in its normal and deuterated forms using infrared and Ram
an techniques in the range 4000-50 cm(-1). Ab initio calculations allo
wed the determination of the geometrical parameters of the molecule, a
nd of the corresponding force field and normal modes of vibration. Suc
h theoretical results served as a basis for an assignment of the spect
ral features. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
