Infrared Spectra of Pentachlorofluoroethane, I, 2-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane, and I-Bromo-2-Fluoroethane

Delia Simpson 1 and Earle K. Plyler

The infrared absorption spectra of pe ntachloroAuoroet ha ne a nd 1,2-dichlol'otetrafturo­ethane have bee n measured from 2 to 40 J.L. Sevo ra l bands were found in t he region from 25 to 40 }J-, w hich had not bee n previously invest igated. The spectrum of I-bromo-2-f1u oroet hane has a lso bee n meas ured in the spectra l region from 2 to 40 }J- , a nd m a ny bands were obsen ·ed. A Jist of t he observed bands and t he frequency ass ignments [or t he t hree molecules are g iven.

In r ecent years much interest has been shown in the spectroscopy of fluorinated hydrocarbons. Gloclder and Sage,23 fo], example, have given tbe R aman spectra of SUell compounds and Smith, N iel­sen, and coworkers 4 5 have given the infrared and Raman spectra of many fluorinated ethanes, alon g with frequency assignments for some of them . In this report we presen t spectra and ass ignments for three fluorina ted hydrocarbons, pen tacblorofluoro­ethane (CCl3CC12F ), 1 ,2-dichlorotetrafl.uoroetbane (CClF2CCIF2), and 1-bromo-2-fluoroethane (CH z BrCH 2F ). The R aman spectrum of CCIF2CClF2 has b een reported by Glockler and Sage (see foo tnote 2) and the infrared spectra of CCl3CCl2F and CCIF2 CClF2 have been reported by Smi t h and Nielsen (see footnotes 4 and 5). We have extended the infraI' d

, spectra of the last two named molecules to 40 iJ. and present the spectrum of the third in the 2 to 40 J.i.

, l'ange. I The spectra of these compounds were obtained on

a Perkin-Elmer model 12C spectrometer. The 1)ri m used in the various spectral ranges \vere: 1 to 5 J.i., li thium AUOl'ide; 2 to 16 J.i. , sodium chloride; 14 to 24 iJ., potassium bromide; and 23 to 40 J.i. , thal­lium bromide-iodide.

Figure 1 shows the spectl'llill of CC13CC1211' . It was ob tained by comparing tbe absorpt ion of the

I >compound with the absorption of ai.r. These obser­vati.ons were then reduced to the percent transmit­tance of t he compound . Figures 2 and 3 present the spectra of CClF2CCIF2 and CH2BrCH2F obtained in a similar manner. These compounds were examined

. in various states and under various experimental con­I ditions, the conditions being described on the figures ' and in the captions.

Because these molecules do not form a closely re­Ilated series of substituted ethan es, it would not be expected that their spectra would show many simi­larities. A general feat ure of t he tllTee spectra is that most of the intense bands fall between 8 and 20 iJ..

In tables 1 through 3 are given the observed infra­r ed bands, t he available Raman elata, and these fre­quency assigLUnents for the tlU'ee molecules. These

assignments were made on the basis of analogy wi th th e assignments of closely related structures which have previously been studied . crable 4 compares these assignments for CH2Bl'CH2F with the wave number ranges for lhe various v ibrations of three molecules. (CH 2Cl)2, (CH 2Br)2, and CH 2BrCH2Cl. These values are taken from tbe assignments of J. U . Brown and W. S. Sheppard, who have kindly allowed the use of the results of their work, which now await publication. These foul' molecules listed in table 4 are expected to exist in two isomeric forms, trans and gauche. In this table a re g iven the differences in going from the gauche to the trans form for individual vibrations. 1' he assignments for CCl3CCl2F and CClF2CClF2 were made in the same way by com ­paring their vibrations wi t h related molecules.
