Abstract
The conformational properties and the geometric structure of gaseous O-nitrosobis(trifluoromethyl)hydroxylamine, (CF 3 ) 2 N-O-N=O, have beeen studied by infrared spectroscopy, electron diffraction, and ab initio calculations. From the relative intensities and band contours of the two N=O vibrations, a mixture of 80(10)% trans-syn and 20(10)% trans-anti conformers (ΔG=G(syn)-G(anti)=0.8(3) kcal/mol) is derived (trans describes the orientation of the O-N bond relative to the CNC bisector and syn /anti refers to the orientation of N=O relative to N-O)
