Abstract:
The equilibrium structures of silyl iodide, SiH3I, and silylene halides, SiHX (X = F, Cl, Br, I), were determined by using the mixed regression method, where approximate values of the rotational constants are supplemented by the structural parameters of a different origin. For this goal, it is shown that the r(Si-H) bond length can be determined by using the isolated SiH stretching frequency and that an accurate estimation of the bond angles is obtained by an MP2 calculation with a basis set of triple zeta quality. To check the accuracy of the experimental structures, they were also optimized by means of all electron CCSD(T) calculations using basis sets of quadruple zeta quality.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
