Normal coordinate calculations were made for 2-iodopropane and the three conformers of 2-iodobutane. A forty-seven parameter modified valence force field was used that fit eighty-four frequencies of those four molecules in the 250–1500 cm−1region with an average error of 4.8 cm−1, or 0.6%. Infrared spectra were obtained for 2-iodopentane and 3-iodopentane, and zero-order normal coordinate calculations were made for three conformers of 2-iodopentane and for five conformers of 3-iodopentane. The SHH, SHH′, and SCHconformers of 2-iodopentane are present, along with one or two unidentified ones, and 3-iodopentane exists as a mixture of the SHH, SHH′, SCH, and SCH′conformers. The force constants that were determined for the four conformers of 2-iodopropane and 2-iodobutane were transferred to the two secondary iodo-pentanes with good success. The average difference between observed and calculated wave-numbers for 164 frequencies of seven conformations of these two compounds was 5.8 cm−1.
