VIBRATIONAL-SPECTRA AND ASSIGNMENTS FOR 3,3,4,4-TETRAFLUOROCYCLOBUTENE-D(0), 3,3,4,4-TETRAFLUOROCYCLOBUTENE-D(1), AND 3,3,4,4-TETRAFLUOROCYCLOBUTENE-D(2)

Infrared and Raman spectra have been obtained in various physical stat
es for 3,3,4,4-tetrafluorocyclobutene (TFCB) and its singly and doubly
deuterated isotopic modifications. Vibrational fundamentals for TFCB
are, in cm-1, (a1) 3152, 1564, 1350, 1162, 1034, 755, 500, 277; (a2)-,
957, approximately 610, 348, 133; (b1) 3108, 1338, approximately 1150
, 1058, 730, 614, 431; (b2) 1155, 799, 366, 208. Comparably complete a
ssignment of the fundamentals for the d1 and d2 isotopomers suport the
se assignments. The ring puckering frequencies of 15 halogen-substitut
ed cyclobutenes are compared. The ring puckering mode at 133 cm-1 for
TFCB fits into the systematic dependence of the frequency of this mode
on mass, location and extent of halogen substitution on the cyclobute
ne framework.
