Abstract
Abstract Gaseous 1-chlorobutane has been studied at 18°C by electron diffraction. The conformational composition obtained comprises 50% GA, 25% AA, 15% GG, 5% AG and 5% GG″ with estimated error limits of about ± 5%. Normal values of the structural parameters have been determined and low-frequency torsional vibrations have been compared with observations from vibrational spectroscopy. Results from molecular mechanics calculations largely agree with the electron diffraction data. The results are compared with those of an earlier electron diffraction investigation.
