68 th OSU International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy Conformational Stability and Structural Parameters of Isocyanocyclopentane Dattatray K. Sawant, Joshua Klaassen and James R. Durig June 19, 2013

Introduction • Previous work on cyclopentane, cyanoclopentane, halocyclopentane, methyl cyclopentane etc. • Pseudorotation of cyclopentane and cyclopentane derivatives. • Need to determine most stable conformer and structural parameters. 1. 2. 3. 4.
