Abstract

The sZ and sE conformers of acetylketene (5) were generated by flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) and matrix photolysis of precursors 1-4. Both conformers were characterized by low- temperature IR spectroscopy in argon, xenon, and nitrogen matrices. The observed frequencies and intensities are in excellent agrement with ab initio calculations at the MP2/6- 31G* level. UV irradiation of s-21s-E-6 in nitrogen or xenon matrices allows the clean ...
