We report herein some new infrared spectral observations on the CF stretching mode of CH/sub 3/F isolated in krypton matrices. It is shown that extensive annealing removes the asymmetry which had been tentatively assigned to an envelope of rotational structure. Our results can be explained with a two-site model and without invoking free or hindered rotation, except in the limit of libration. (AIP)
