A. Benidar et al., Vibrational spectra, DFT calculations, and assignments of the syn and the gauche forms of vinylphosphine, J MOL SPECT, 205(2), 2001, pp. 252-260
Infrared spectra (3500-600 cm(-1)) of vinylphosphine and its P-dideuterated
derivative in the gas phase were recorded at 1 cm(-1) resolution. Both the
infrared absorption bands of the syn and gauche conformers of the vinylpho
sphine were observed and assigned. The assignment was based on density func
tional theory calculations performed at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level. The agre
ement between calculated and observed frequencies for both CH2=CHPH2 and CH
2=CHPD2 was fairly good. The integrated intensities of isolated and overlap
ping vibrational bands were determined experimentally. (C) 2001 Academic Pr
