ROTATIONAL SPECTRA OF THE TRIFLUORO ETHANOL (TFE) -WATER CLUSTERS AND THE TFE DIMERS Javix Thomas and Yunjie Xu Department of Chemistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T 6 G 2 G 2.
Motivation TFE is an important organic solvent. TFE and water are often used as co-solvents in the studies of protein folding process. The interactions of TFE with itself and with water may play some significant roles molecular recognition of biomolcules. The TFE monomer was extensively studied using rotational spectroscopy 1 and the TFE dimer was investigated using low resolution FTIR spectroscopy. 2 1. Xu et al. J. Chem. Phys. , 1995, 103, 9541. 2.

Conclusion and future work ** Only the most stable conformer of the TFE dimer was identified, in contrast to the related ethanol and 2 fluoroethanol cases. ** Some unassigned lines may be attributed to the TFE trimer and perhaps even the TFE tetramer. ** Many strong unassigned lines in TFE+water+He are likely due to larger TFE-water clusters. Their assignments are in progress. 15
