Goal and Prior Knowledge • Semiexperimental (SE) structures for the nonpolar cis,cis
and trans,trans isomers of 1,4-difluorobutadiene (DFBD).• GS rotational constants for the 2-d1 isotopologues are
known.a
• GS rotational constants for the singly substituted 13C and 18F species can be predicted well from QC calculations.
• An SE structure for polar cis,trans-DFBD is known from MW spectroscopy.b

Conclusions
GS rotational constants have been obtained for the 1-d1 species of cis,cis and trans,trans-DFBD from the analysis of rotational structure in IR spectra.
GS rotational constants for the corresponding 2-d1 species were found previously.
Good GS rotational constants for singly substituted 13C and 18F species can be predicted with scaling.
The stage is set for determining semiexperimental equilibrium structures of the cis,cis and trans,trans isomers of DFBD.
