Microwave Spectrum of Fluoro-bromomethane

Nature volume 202, pages 591–592 (1964)Cite this article

Abstract

THE molecular geometry and nuclear quadrupole coupling effects in fluoro-bromomethane, CH2FBr, have not been previously studied. We have investigated them as part of a more general programme of microwave spectroscopic studies of compounds containing the CH2F group1,2. The results so far merit a brief comparison with those for CH2FC1 (ref. 3) and for ethyl bromide4.
