Microwave spectrum, torsional barrier, and structure of BH3NH3

Abstract
The microwave spectra of nine isotopic species of borane monoammoniate (11BH3NH3, 10BH3NH3, 11BH3ND3, 10BH3ND3, 11BD3NH3, 11BH3 15NH3, 10BH3 15NH3, 11BD2HNH3, 11BH3ND2H) have been observed. The rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, dipole moment, torsional barrier, and molecular geometry of borane monoammoniate were determined from these spectra. The rs structure is: BN=1.6576(16) Å, BH=1.2160(17) Å, NH=1.0140(20) Å, ∠NBH=104.69(11), ∠BNH=110.28(14). The dipole moment is 5.216(17) D. The torsional barrier about the B–N bond, V3, is 2.047(9) kcal mol1 for 11BH3ND2H and 2.008(4) kcal mol1 for 11BD2HNH3.
