Abstract

A conformational study of diethyldichlorosilane and the elucidation of the gas-phase molecular structures of its four conformers have been performed using the combined approach of gas-phase electron diffraction and computational techniques. Moreover, the Raman spectrum of the liquid and the IR spectra of the gas and liquid phases have been recorded and thoroughly analyzed on the basis of the scaled quantum-mechanical force field methodology. The results of the vibrational assignment have given spectroscopic evidence of the presence of the different conformers in the samples. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
