Abstract
The microwave spectra of glycidol [Formula: see text] and its deuterated (—OD) form have been studied in the range 8–40 GHz. The rotational (in MHz) and centrifugal distortion constants (in kHz) of glycidol are: A = 10 347.87, B = 4102.36, C = 3781.95; ΔJ = 2.38, ΔJK = −311, ΔK = 5.2, δJ = 0.3159, δK = −9.76. The rotational constants and distortion constants of glycidol (OD) are A = 10 010.31, B = 4056.73, C = 3717.02; ΔJ = 2.53, ΔJK = 197, ΔK = 7.7,δJ = 0.3532,δK = −7.19. The dipole moment components of the normal molecule in Debye units are μa = 0.61, μb = 1.20, μc = 0.52, and the total dipole moment is 1.44 D.A structure is derived with the alcoholic hydrogen atom close (2.5 Å) to the ring oxygen. The structure and the absence of signs of free or hindered rotation, can be accounted for by hydrogen bonding between the proton and the ring oxygen.
