Spectroscopic (FTIR and FT Raman) analysis and vibrational study on 2,3-dimethyl naphthalene using ab-initio HF and DFT calculations

A combined experimental and theoretical study on molecular and vibrational structure of 2,3-dimethyl naphthalene (2,3-DMN) has been undertaken in the present work. The FTIR and FT Raman spectra of 2,3-DMN were recorded in the region 4000-100 cm(-1). The optimized geometries were calculated by HF and DFT (B3LYP) methods with 6-31++G (d, p), 6-311G (d, p) and 6-311++G (d, p) basis sets. The harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities and Raman activities of the 2,3-DMN were evaluated with these methods. After scaling the computational wave numbers are in very good agreement with the experimental values. A detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of 2,3-DMN is presented. The effects of substitution of methyl group on the molecule have also been discussed.

FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra and vibrational investigation of 4-chloro-2-fluoro toluene using ab initio HF and DFT (B3LYP/B3PW91) calculations

FT-IR (4000-100 cm(-1)) and FT-Raman (4000-100 cm(-1)) spectra of solid sample of 4-chloro-2-fluoro toluene (4Cl2FT) have been recorded using Bruker IFS 66 V spectrometer. Ab initio-HF (HF/6-311++G (d, p)) and DFT (B3LYP/6-311++G and B3PW91/6-311++G (d, p)) calculations have been performed giving energies, optimized structures, harmonic vibrational frequencies, depolarization ratios, IR intensities, Raman activities. The vibrational frequencies are calculated and scaled values are compared with FT-IR and FT-Raman experimental values. The isotropic HF and DFT analyses showed good agreement with experimental observations. The differences between the observed and scaled wave number values of most of the fundamentals are very small in B3LYP than HF. Comparison of the simulated spectra provides important information about the ability of the computational method (B3LYP) to describe the vibrational modes. The influences of substitutions on the geometry of molecule and its normal modes of vibrations have also been discussed. The changes made by substitutions on the benzene are much responsible for the non-linearity of the molecule. This is an attractive entity for the future studies of non-linear optics.

In this work, we report a combined experimental and theoretical study on molecular structure, vibrational spectra, NBO analysis of bis(4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl) methane (BAMTM). The FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra of BAMTM were recorded in the solid phase. The molecular geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies and bonding features of BAMTM in the ground state have been calculated by using density functional method (B3LYP) with standard 6-31G(d, p) basis set. Stability of the molecule arising from hyper conjugative interactions, charge delocalization has been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. Finally the theoretical spectrograms for FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of the title molecule have been constructed which show good agreement with recorded spectra.

Vibrational spectroscopy (FTIR and FTRaman) investigation using ab initio (HF) and DFT (B3LYP and B3PW91) analysis on the structure of 2-amino pyridine

The FTIR and FTRaman spectra of 2-amino pyridine (2-AP) molecule have been recorded using Bruker IFS 66 V spectrometer in the range of 4000-100 cm(-1). The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies in the ground state are calculated by using the ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and DFT (B3LYP and B3PW91) methods with 6-31++G (d, p) and 6-311++G (d, p) basis sets. The computed values of frequencies are scaled using a suitable scale factor to yield good coherence with the observed values. Making use of the recorded data, the complete vibrational assignments are made and analysis of the observed fundamental bands of molecule is carried out. The geometries and normal modes of vibrations obtained from ab initio HF and B3LYP/B3PW91 calculations are in good agreement with the experimentally observed data. The differences between the observed and scaled wave number values of most of the fundamentals are very small in B3LYP than HF.

The FTIR and FTRaman spectra of 2-bromo-4-methyl aniline (2-B-4-MA) molecule have been recorded using Brucker IFS 66V spectrometer in the range of 4000-100 cm(-1). The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies in the ground state are calculated using the Hartree-Fock (HF) and B3LYP with 6-31+G*(d, p), 6-311+G*(d, p) and 6-311++G* (d, p) basis sets. The computed values of frequencies are scaled using a suitable scale factor to yield good coherence with the observed values. The isotropic HF and DFT analysis showed good agreement with experimental observations. Comparison of the fundamental vibrational frequencies with calculated results by HF and B3LYP methods indicates that B3LYP/6-311++G* (d, p) is superior to HF/6-31+G* for molecular vibrational problems. The complete data of this title compound provide the information for future development of substituted aniline. The influences of bromine atom, methyl group and amine group on the geometry of benzene and its normal modes of vibrations have also been discussed.

In this work, the experimental and theoretical spectra of nicotinamide (C(6)H(6)N(2)O) are studied. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of title molecule in the liquid phase have been recorded in the region 4000-100cm(-1).

The vibrational frequencies have been calculated and scaled values have been compared with the experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The observed and calculated frequencies are found in good agreement. The DFT-B3LYP/6-31++G (d, p) calculations have been found are more reliable than the ab initio HF/6-31+G (d, p) calculations for the vibrational study of nicotinamide. The optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) are compared with experimental values of the molecule. The alteration of vibrational bands due to the substitutions in the base molecule is also investigated from their characteristic region of linked spectrum.
