abstract = {The rotational spectra of n-butyl acetate (CH3-COO-C4H9),
n-pentyl acetate (CH3-COO-C5H11), and n-hexyl acetate
(CH3-COO-C6H13) were recorded using molecular beam Fourier
transform microwave spectroscopy. First of all, ab initio
calculations were carried out for every conformer at MP2/6
311++G(d,p) level. The theoretical rotational constants were
used to predict the spectra. In the next step, broadband
scans were recorded in selected ranges and the measured
lines were re-measured in the high resolution mode. Three
conformers were assigned for the molecule n-butyl acetate,
two for the molecule n-pentyl acetate, and one for the
molecule n-hexyl acetate. Comparing the experimental with
the theoretical values, the structures of these assigned
conformers were obtained. The strongest lines of each
spectrum belong to the conformer with the lowest energy,
which has C1 symmetry. A conformer with CS symmetry was
assigned for each of the molecules n-butyl acetate and n
pentyl acetate. Comparing the structures of the conformers
with lowest energy, the results show, that by extending the
carbon chain successively, the previous structure is
conserved. The new carbon atoms are added antiperiplanar.
For the energetically lowest conformers of n-butyl acetate,
n-pentyl acetate, and n hexyl acetate quantum chemical
calculations with different methods and basis sets were
carried out. The used methods are Hartee-Fock (HF), second
order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), Density
Functional Theory (DFT) with the Becke Lee Yang functional
(B3LYP). The used basis sets are 6-31G(d,p), 6 31+G(d,p),
6-31++G(d,p), 6 311G(d,p), 6-311+G(d,p), and 6 311++G(d,p).
The investigations have shown, that the best agreement
between the experimental and theoretical values are observed
at the MP2/6-311+G(d,p) level. The MP2/6 311++G(d,p) level,
which has been used in this work has also a good agreement
and is suitable for predicting rotational constants of
acetic acetate esters.},
