Acetyl acrylic anhydride (CH3C(O)OC(O)CHCH2) and its halogen-substituted derivatives (CF3C(O)OC(O)CHCH2 and CCl3C(O)OC(O)CHCH2) were prepared by the heterogeneous reaction of gaseous CH2鈺怌HC(O)Cl with CX3C(O)OAg (X = H, F, or Cl). The molecular conformations and electronic structure of these three compounds were investigated by HeI photoelectron spectroscopy, photoionization mass spectroscopy, FT-IR, and theoretical calculations. They were theoretically predicted to prefer the [ss-c] conformation, with each C鈺怬 bond syn with respect to the opposite O鈥揅 bond and the C鈺怌 bond in cis orientation to the adjacent C鈺怬 bond. The experimental first vertical ionization potential for CH3C(O)OC(O)CHCH2, CF3C(O)OC(O)CHCH2, and CCl3C(O)OC(O)CHCH2 was determined to be 10.91, 11.42, and 11.07 eV, respectively. In this study, the rule of the conformation properties of anhydride XC(O)OC(O)Y was improved by analyzing the different conformations of anhydrides with various substitutes.
