Conformational analysis of ethanethiol and 2-propanethiol

Journal Article · · J. Mol. Spectrosc.; (United States)

Evidence for the existence of different molecular conformations of ethanethiol and 2-propanethiol was obtained by low temperature infrared spectroscopy. Conformations of C/sub 1/ symmetry occur exclusively in crystalline ethanethiol and Crystals II of 2-propanethiol and show up more prominently in the spectra of the liquids and glasses. However, both C/sub 1/ and C/sub 8/ forms occur in Crystals I of 2-propanethiol. Energy differences between the forms were estimated from calorimetric data.
