Vibrational Spectra of PClnF5–n

Abstract

The frequencies of the title compounds are computed using a simple force‐field transference scheme. On the basis of these calculations, and gas‐phase Raman spectroscopy of PF₅, ${\nu }_7$ for this molecule is assigned at 175 cm⁻¹. An assignment of the species PF₃Cl₂ is suggested.
