Abstract
Abstract Infrared spectra have been obtained for 2-bromo-2-methylpentane and 3-bromo-3-methylpentane. Both compounds exist in T HHH and T CHH conformations. Normal coordinate calculations were made for these two compounds and for 2-bromo-2-methylbutane, using the 44-parameter modified valence force field that was used for tertiary chlorides. Fifteen force constants were adjusted to fit 169 frequencies below 1500 cm −1 of six molecules (two each for the three named compounds) with an average error of 5.6 cm −1 . Vibrational assignments are presented.
