Abstract

Reference infrared vapor-phase spectra of the 14 pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (PnCDD) isomers were recorded at low microgram concentrations. A unique infrared spectrum corresponding to each chromatographically separated or spectrally subtracted mixture component was observed. The structures for individual isomers in each isomer pair were assigned by qualitative valence-bond evaluations and empirically derived quantitative estimations of ether linkage asymmetric stretching frequencies [v_coc(asym)] Correlations between calculated ether linkage (C-O-C) bond angles and v_coc(asym) indicate the existence of buttressed 1,6 and 1,9 nonbonded interactions not observed in tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) isomers.
