Abstract
Abstract Vinyl chloroformate is confirmed to have the planar structure reported in an earlier study [1] . Our study uses much higher resolution microwave rotational spectra and ab initio calculations have been extended to a higher level. Naturally abundant isotopologs with single substitution of 37Cl, 13C, and 18O isotopes have also been measured and a substitution structure obtained. The quadrupole coupling constants of the 35Cl and 37Cl isotopologs have been determined. The potential energy profiles of internal rotation about the O C O C and C O C C dihedral angles have been calculated.
