Michal M. Serafin, Sean A. Peebles C-H HYDROGEN BONDING INTERACTIONS IN THE CARBONYL SULFIDE-TRIFLUOROMETHANE DIMER Michal M. Serafin, Sean A. Peebles Department of Chemistry, 600 Lincoln Avenue, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, IL 61920 USA
Introduction Systematic study of HCF3 complexes to characterize weak intermolecular forces Complex splitting pattern in HCCH-HCF3 dimer not fully understood OCS-HCF3 is a less complex system since carbonyl sulfide is not symmetric – possibly providing a simpler spectrum

Experimental Details Balle-Flygare type Fourier transform microwave (FTMW) spectrometer, General Valve (series 9), operating on the 6-15GHz region Sample contains approx. 1.5% of both OCS and HCF3 filled to a backing pressure of ~2-2.5 bar of He/Ne Stark effect experiments performed to acquire dipole data
