General Description

Chlorofluoroiodomethane is a chemical compound derived from methane and it consists of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, fluoride, and iodine atoms. It is known as a halocarbon and falls under the category of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). Methane, chlorofluoroiodo- remains stable under normal conditions but can decompose when exposed to high temperatures and produce harmful byproducts such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and so on. It is mainly used in the refrigeration industry and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. Despite its utility, Chlorofluoroiodomethane has potential damaging effects on the ozone layer and is therefore regulated internationally.

Electronic structure of chiral halomethanes

The electronic structure of chiral halomethanes was studied for the analysis of intermolecular interactions. Their photoelectron spectra contain unanmbiguously assigned bands which acts as an internal probe for such interactions. The study of the electron

Chlorofluoroiodomethane as a potential candidate for parity violation measurements

CHFClI is among the more favorable molecules for parity violation (PV) measurements in molecules. Despite the fact that calculated PV effects are two orders of magnitude smaller than in some organometallic compounds, CHFClI displays interesting features which could make possible a new experimental PV test on this molecule. Indeed, ultrahigh resolution spectroscopy using an ultrastable CO2 laser is favored by several intrinsic properties of this molecule. For example, the high vapor pressure of CHFClI allows investigation by supersonic beam spectroscopy. Indeed, the spectroscopic constants have been accurately determined by microwave and millimetre wave spectroscopy. This is important for the subsequent selection of an appropriate absorption band of CHFClI that could be brought to coincide with the absorption of CO2. Partially resolved (+)- and (-)-CHFClI enantiomers with respectively 63.3 and 20.5% ee's have been recently prepared and analyzed by molecular recognition using chiral hosts called cryptophanes. Finally, the S-(+)/R-(-) absolute configuration was ascertained by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) in the gas phase. the Owner Societies 2006.
