Abstract
The following bond lengths (r(g)) and bond angles have been determined for perfluoroadamantane from gas-phase electron diffraction: C-C 1.56 0 +/- 0.003, C(F-2)-F 1.340 +/- 0.005, C(F)-F 1.363 +/- 0.010 Angstrom , CC(F-2)C 107.7 +/- 0.9, CC(F)C 110.3 +/- 0.4, FC(F-2)F 106.9 +/- 0.4 , C(F-2)CF 108.6 +/- 0.4 and C(F)CF 110.5 +/- 0.2 degrees. Perfluorina tion is found to expand the adamantane cage, characterized by a 0.02 A ngstrom lengthening of the C-C bonds. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
