Abstract

The conformational properties and the geometric structure of fluoroformyliminosulfur difluoride, FC(O)NSF 2, were studied in the gas phase by vibrational spectroscopy and by joint analysis of gas electron diffraction (GED) intensities and rotational constants from the literature. Only one planar cis-syn conformation, with the FC(O) group cis to the SF 2 group and the CO double bond syn to the NS double bond, is observed. The contribution of any other conformer is estimated to be ≤3%. The following skeletal geometric parameters ( r z values, estimated uncertainties are 2σ values) were derived: SN = 1.479 (4) Å, NC = 1.395 (6) Å, SF = 1.586 (2) Å, CNS = 126.7 (11)°, NSF = 110.4 (8)°, FSF = 93.4 (3)°. These geometric parameters are well reproduced by HF/6-31G∗ ab initio calculations.
