The molecular structure and conformational properties of ethyl trifluoroacetate, CF3CO2CH2CH3, were determined in the gas phase by electron diffraction, and vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman). The experimental investigations were supplemented byab initio(MP2) and DFT quantum chemical calculations at different levels of theory. Experimental and theoretical methods result in two structures withCs(anti–anti) andC1(anti–gauche) symmetries, the former being slightly more stable than the latter. The electron‐diffraction data are best fitted with a mixture of 56%anti–gaucheand 44%anti–anticonformers. The conformational preference was also studied using the total energy scheme, and the natural bond orbital scheme. Also, the infrared spectra of CF3CO2CH2CH3are reported for the gas, liquid and solid states, as is the Raman spectrum of the liquid. The comparison of experimental averaged IR spectra ofCsandC1conformers provides evidence for the predicted conformations in the IR spectra. Harmonic vibrational wavenumbers and scaled force fields have been calculated for both conformers. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
