The structural, conformational, and configurational properties of 1,1,1-trifluoro-N-(1,1,2,2,2-pentafluoroethyl) methanesulfinimidoyl fluoride, CF3CF2N=S(F)CF3 have been studied by vibrational spectroscopy [IR (vapor) and Raman (liquid)] and quantum chemical calculations [B3LYP, MP2 and B3PW91 levels of theory (using the 6-311+G(d) and 6-311+G(2df) basis sets). According to these theoretical approximations, CF3CF2N=S(F)CF3 might be found in the gas phase as a mixture of a favoured anticlinal form (C-N bond anticlinal with respect to the C-S-F bisector angle) and a less abundant syn conformer showing C1 symmetry as well (ΔG°≈1.5 kcal mol(-1)). However, corresponding vibrational modes for these conformers show only small shifts which would not allow confidently detecting the rather small contribution of this second form in the experimental spectra.
