Abstract
Abstract A gas phase electron diffraction investigation of 1-chloro-1-(trichlorovinyl)cyclopropane at 65° showed the existence of one conformer having a perpendicular arrangement of the cyclopropyl- and the trichlorovinylgroup, with torsional angle τ = 91(3)° relative to τ = 180° for the antiperiplanar conformer (CCl-CCl anti arrangement). Both the experimental data and a molecular mechanics calculation indicate the lower barrier toward the antiperiplanar form,less than 40 kJ · mol -1 . The second barrier was by molecular mechanics calculated to 60 kJ · mol -1 .
