Oligomers based on weak hydrogen bond networks: a rotational study of the tetramer of difluoromethane

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Jan 7;50(2):171-3. doi: 10.1039/c3cc47206j.

Abstract

We report the rotational spectrum of one conformer of the tetramer of difluoromethane (CH2F2)4 (the first pure rotational spectrum of a tetramer of an asymmetric rotor), and describe the network of weak hydrogen bonds which connect the four subunits.
