Abstract
The microwave spectra of van der Waals complexes of dimethy ether(DME) ${dimer}^{a}$ and dimethy ether$\cdots{Ar}^{b}$ have been studied. Following these investigations, the complexes of dimethyl ether and 1,2-difluoroethane(DFE)/ trifluoroethene (TFE) $(CH_{3})_{2}O\cdots CF_{2}=CH_{2}$ and $(CH_{3})_{2}O\cdots CF_{2}=CHF$ have been observed using a Fourie transform microwave spectrometer from 5 to 19 GHz. The samples of 1% $DME/DME-d_{6}$ and DFE/TFE in Ar were used to form the complexes in a super sonic expansion. For normal DME$\cdots$DFE, 37 a-type transitions were assigned and 87 a- and b-type transitions were assigned for normal DME$\cdots$TFE. Rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been determined for these complexes of normal and $-d_{6}$ species, leading to molecular structures. Both complexes were found to be $C_{s}$ symmetry and bound with triple hydrogen bonds: One is the strong O$\cdots$HC type and two are the weaker CH$\cdots$F type. The structures of both complexes are similar, however, the hydrogen bond lengths and bond angles are different. Ab initio MO calculations of MP2/6-311+G(d,p) lebel have been made for these complexes, the structure obtained supported the experimental results and the bonding energies for these complexes were compared.
