Abstract:
The rotational spectra of four isotopologues of the adduct C2F3Cl-NH3 show that NH3 is bound to the partner molecule through a (N)lone-pair···π interaction. Ammonia is located in proximity to the C2 atom (the one linked to two fluorine atoms), with the C2···N distance = 2.987(2) Å. The nuclear hyperfine structure due to the quadrupole coupling effects of (35)Cl/(37)Cl and (14)N nuclei has been fully resolved. The (14)N quadrupole coupling constants allow estimating the effective orientation of NH3 in the complex.
