Abstract
(Chloromethyl)phosphine, (ClCH(2)PH(2)) has been studied by microwave spectroscopy at -30 °C in the 22-80 GHz spectral interval. The experimental study has been augmented by quantum chemical calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVQZ and B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ levels of theory. The spectra of the ground as well as of several vibrationally excited states of the (35)ClCH(2)PH(2) and (37)ClCH(2)PH(2) isotopologues of two rotameric forms, denoted I and II, have been assigned. These conformers have different orientations of the phosphino group. I has a symmetry plane, consisting of the Cl-C-P link of atoms, whereas the phosphino group is rotated out of this symmetry plane in II. Conformer I was found to be 4.3(5) kJ/mol more stable than II by relative intensity measurements. The rotational and quartic centrifugal distortion constants calculated using the MP2/aug-cc-pVQZ procedure are in very good agreement with their experimental counterparts. Less good agreement is found in the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations. Both computational procedures predict energy differences between I and II that are close to the experimental energy difference. It is suggested that I is the preferred form of this molecule because it is stabilized by weak intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the chlorine atom and the hydrogen atoms of the phosphino group. Repulsion between the lone electron pair of the phosphorus atom and the chlorine atom also stabilizes I relative to II.

Abstract
An investigation into the properties of the novel compound cyclopropylmethylselenol has been undertaken by use of Stark-modulation microwave spectroscopy and high-level quantum chemical calculations. Ground-state spectra belonging to six isotopomers of a single conformer of the molecule were recorded and assigned. This conformer, predicted to be the lowest in energy by a series of quantum chemical calculations, possesses a synclinal arrangement of the H-C-C-Se atoms. In addition to the assignment of these ground-state spectra, transitions attributable to vibrationally excited states of the 78Se- and 80Se-containing isotopomers were identified. A tentative assignment of these excited-state spectra to specific vibrational modes has been made with the assistance of a density functional theory calculation at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2pd) level of theory. Close agreement was found between experimental ground-state rotational constants and ab initio equilibrium values calculated at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. Good agreement was also noted between certain r(s) principal axis coordinates of atoms in the molecule and the corresponding ab initio r(e) values. Limited evidence in favor of the formation of a weak intramolecular hydrogen bond between the H atom of the selenol group and electron density associated with the cyclopropyl ring is discussed.

Abstract
The ground-state rotational spectra of 24 isotopomers of ethynylstannane have been observed by pulsed-jet, Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy. The spectroscopic constants, B(0,)D(J) and D(JK) are reported for symmetric-top isotopomers H(3)(n)Sn(12)C(12)CH, where n = 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 122 and 124, D(3)(n)Sn(12)C(12)CH, where n = 116, 118, 120, 122 and 124, H(3)(n)Sn(13)C(12) CH and H(3)(n)Sn(12)C(13)CH , where n = 116,118 and 120, and H(3)(n)Sn(12)C(12)CD, where n = 116, 118 and 120. In addition, the values of A(0), B(0), C(0), Delta(J) and Delta(JK) were obtained for the three asymmetric-top isotopomers DH(2)(n)Sn(12)C(12)CH, where n = 116, 118 and 120. Hyperfine structure was resolved and assigned in the transitions of the isotopomers H(3)(n)SnCCD, where n = 116, 118 and 120, and in the isotopomers H(3)(117)SnCCH and H(3)(119)SnCCH. In the former group, the hyperfine structure arises from D nuclear quadrupole coupling while in the latter group its origin lies in the spin-rotation coupling of the I = 1/2 Sn nuclear spin to the rotational motion. For these isotopomers, D nuclear quadrupole and spin-rotation coupling constants are determined where appropriate. The rotational constants obtained for the 24 isotopomers of H(3)SnCCH were used to obtain the following types of molecular geometry for ethynylstannane: r(0), r(s), and r(m).

Abstract
The properties of cyclopentadienylphosphine have been investigated by means of Stark-modulation microwave spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ, B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p), and G3 levels of theory. Spectra attributable to two rotamers denoted conformers I and II have been assigned. Conformer I has a symmetry plane (Cs symmetry) consisting of the bisectors of the cyclopentadiene ring and of the phosphino group with the lone electron pair of phosphorus pointing toward the carbon ring. In conformer II, the phosphino group is rotated approximately 120 degrees out of this plane. Relative intensity measurements have been made, and it was found that conformer II is more stable than I by 1.3(4) kJ/mol. The preferred conformer represents a borderline case of intramolecular hydrogen bond stabilization. The experimental and MP2/ aug-cc-pVTZ rotational constants differ by several percent, which indicates that the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set is not large enough to be able to predict an accurate structure for the two conformers that are close to the equilibrium geometries. 5-Substituted 1,3-cyclopentadienyl derivatives may undergo circumambulatory rearrangements. However, there is no manifestation of this effect in the microwave spectrum of cyclopentadienylphosphine.

Abstract
The microwave spectrum of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanol, CF(3)CH(OH)CH(3), and one deuterated species, CF(3)CH(OD)CH(3), have been investigated in the 20.0-62.0 GHz spectral region at about -50 degrees C. The rotational spectrum of one of the three possible rotameric forms was assigned. This conformer is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond formed between the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group and the nearest fluorine atoms. The hydrogen bond is weak and assumed to be mainly a result of attraction between the O-H and the C-F bond dipoles, which are nearly antiparallel. The identified rotamer is at least 3 kJ/mol more stable than any other rotameric form. Two vibrationally excited states belonging to two different normal modes were assigned for this conformer, and their frequencies were determined by relative intensity measurements. The microwave work has been assisted by quantum chemical computations at the MP2/cc-pVTZ and B3LYP/6-311++G** levels of theory, as well as by the infrared spectrum of the O-H stretching vibration.

Abstract
The properties of the novel compound cyclopropylmethylphosphine (C3H5CH2PH2) have been investigated by means of Stark-modulation microwave spectroscopy and high-level quantum chemical calculations. Spectra attributable to the three conformers of the molecule with a synclinal arrangement of the H-C-C-P atoms were recorded and assigned. The experimental rotational constants obtained for these conformers were found to be in good agreement with those generated by ab initio geometry optimizations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. An estimate of the relative energies of the three conformers with observable spectra, by means of relative intensity measurements, compared favorably with the results of G3 energy calculations performed for the molecule. In addition to the observation of ground-state rotational spectra for three conformers, spectra belonging to a number of vibrationally excited states were also assigned with the aid of radio frequency microwave double-resonance experiments. A tentative assignment of these excited-state spectra was proposed by appealing to the results of density functional theory vibrational frequency calculations performed at the B3LYP/6-311++(3df,2pd) level. The energetically preferred conformer of the molecule allowed a close approach between a hydrogen atom belonging to the phosphino group and the edge of the cyclopropyl ring. The possibility of the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond to electron density associated with so-called banana bonds is discussed.

Abstract
The structural and conformational properties of 1-fluorocyclopropanecarboxylic acid have been explored by microwave spectroscopy and a series of ab initio (MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level), density functional theory (B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level), and G3 quantum chemical calculations. Four "stable" conformers, denoted conformers I-IV, were found in the quantum chemical calculations, three of which (conformers I -III) were predicted to be low-energy forms. Conformer I was in all the quantum chemical calculations predicted to have the lowest energy, conformer III to have the second lowest energy, and conformer II to have the third lowest energy. Conformers II and III were calculated to have relatively large dipole moments, while conformer I was predicted to have a small dipole moment. The microwave spectrum was investigated in the 18-62 GHz spectral range. The microwave spectra of conformers II and III were assigned. Conformer I was not assigned presumably because its dipole moment is comparatively small. Conformer II is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond formed between the fluorine atom and the hydrogen atom of the carboxylic acid group. Conformer III has a synperiplanar orientation for the F-C-C=O and H-O-C=O chains of atoms. Its dipole moment is: mua = 3.4(10), mub = 10.1(13), and muc = 0.0 (assumed) and mu(tot) = 10.6(14) x 10(-30) C m [3.2(4) D]. Several vibrationally excited states of the lowest torsional mode of each of II and III were also assigned. The hydrogen-bonded conformer II was found to be 2.7(2) kJ/mol less stable than III by relative intensity measurements. Absolute intensity measurements were used to show that the unassigned conformer I is the most abundant form present at a concentration of roughly 65% at room temperature. Conformer I was estimated to be ca. 5.0 kJ/mol more stable than the hydrogen-bonded rotamer (conformer II) and ca. 2.3 kJ/mol more stable than conformer III. The best agreement with the theoretical calculations is found in the MP2 calculations, which predict conformer I to be 5.1 kJ/mol more stable than III and 1.7 kJ/mol more stable than II.

Abstract
The structural and conformational properties of allylgermane have been investigated using Stark and Fourier transform microwave spectroscopies, infrared spectroscopy, and high-level quantum chemical calculations. The parent species H2C=CHCH2GeH3 was investigated by microwave spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy, while three deuterated species, namely, H2C=CDCH2GeH3, H2C=CHCHDGeH3, and H2C=CHCH2GeD3, were studied only by infrared spectroscopy. The microwave spectra of the ground vibrational state as well as of the first excited state of the torsion vibration around the sp2-sp3 carbon-carbon bond were assigned for the 70Ge, 72Ge, and 74Ge isotopomers of one conformer. This rotamer has an anticlinal arrangement for the C=C-C-Ge chain of atoms. The infrared spectrum of the gas in the 500-4000 cm(-1) range has been assigned. No evidence of additional rotameric forms other than anticlinal was seen in the microwave and infrared spectra. Several different high-level ab initio and density functional theory calculations have been performed. These calculations indicate that a less stable form, having a synperiplanar conformation of the C=C-C-Ge link of atoms, may coexist with the anticlinal form. The energy differences between the synperiplanar and anticlinal forms were calculated to be 5.6-9.2 kJ/mol depending on the computational procedure. The best approximation of the equilibrium structure of the anticlinal rotamer was found in the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations. The barrier to internal rotation of the germyl group was found to be 6.561(17) kJ/mol, from measurements of the splitting of microwave transitions caused by tunneling of the germyl group through its threefold barrier.

Abstract
1,2-Propadienylphosphine (allenylphosphine), H(2)C=C=CHPH(2), has been investigated by Stark and Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. Two rotameric forms denoted syn and gauche have been assigned. The syn form has a symmetry plane (C(s)() symmetry) where the lone electron pair of phosphorus points toward the double bonds. The phosphino group is rotated roughly 120 degrees from this position in the gauche rotamer. The dipole moment of syn was determined to be mu(a) = 1.613(23), mu(b) = 2.347(24), mu(c) = 0 (for symmetry reasons), and mu(tot) = 2.848(28) x 10(-30) C m [0.854(8) D]. The energy difference between the two forms was found to be 2.1(4) kJ/mol from relative intensity measurements with syn as the more stable conformer. Extensive quantum chemical calculations have been carried out and accurate equilibrium structures have been determined for these two rotamers, as well as for the corresponding two conformers of vinylphosphine (H(2)C=CHPH(2)).
