Space-filling model of the dominant s-trans conformer of acrolein molecule, C₃H₄O. The structure was determined by gas electron diffraction and microwave spectroscopy and the details are given in William M. Haynes (ed.), CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 2016, (97th edition) p. 9–31. Similar structural parameters were found in J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1984) 106, 7427–7431 and J. Phys. Chem. A (2014) 118, 6648–6656.
