Abstract

The microwave spectrum of trifluoroacetic anhydride (CF₃COOCOCF₃) has been recorded by chirped-pulse and cavity Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. A dense b-type spectrum containing several P, Q, and R branch progressions has been assigned and fit to the Watson A-reduced asymmetric rotor Hamiltonian. No evidence of tunneling or internal rotation of the CF₃ groups was observed. DFT calculations of the rotational constants are in good agreement with experimental results.
