1-chloromethyl-1-fluorosilacyclopentane (1-ClM-1-FSiCP) was synthesized for the first time and investigated by means of vibrational spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. FT-IR and Raman spectroscopic methods were implemented to collect vibrational spectra of 1-ClM-1-FSiCP. The conformational analysis was performed utilizing FT-IR matrix isolat...

1-chloro-1-chloromethylsilacyclohexane (1-Cl-1-ClMSiCH) is a newly synthesized molecular compound whose conformational analysis was performed by means of vibrational spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. Conventional ATR-FTIR and Raman spectroscopic methods were used to obtain vibrational spectra of the liquid sample. Additionally, FTIR spectr...

... Structure optimization led to two stable low energy conformers, a twist-trans conformer and a gauche conformer. These structures are presented in the , -, , -, and , -planes in Figs two, slightly different gauche conformers which are referred to as gauche+ and gauche-in Ref. [8]. This work on the gauche form agrees structurally with the lower energy gauche+ conformer. ...
