Vibrational assignment, structure and intramolecular hydrogen bond study of 3-amino-1-phenyl-2-buten-1-one

Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra of 3-amino-1-phenyl-2-buten-1-one and its deuterated analogue were recorded in the regions 400-4,000 and 150-4,000 cm(-1), respectively. Furthermore, the molecular structure and vibrational frequencies of title compound were investigated by a series of density functional theoretical, DFT, and ab initio calculations at the post-Hartree-Fock (MP2) level. Although, the calculated frequencies are generally in agreement with the observed spectra but the DFT results are in much better quantitative agreement with the observed spectra than the MP2 results. The observed wavenumbers were analyzed and assigned to different normal modes of vibration of the molecule. The calculated geometrical parameters show a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond with a N...O distance of 2.621-2.668 A. This bond length is shorter than that of its parent, 4-amino-3-penten-2-one (with two methyl groups in the beta-position), which is in agreement with spectroscopic results. The topological properties of the electron density contributions for intramolecular hydrogen bond in 3-amino-1-phenyl-2-buten-1-one and 4-amino-3-penten-2-one have been analyzed in term of the Bader theory of atoms in molecules (AIM). These results also support the stronger hydrogen bond in the title compound with respect to the parent molecule.     

Hydrogen bond, dimerization and vibrational modes in 2-chloro-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde from vibrational and ab initio studies

Ab initio conformers and dimers have been computed at RHF and B3LYP/6-31G* levels for isomers 2-chloro-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde to explain the observed infrared absorption and Raman vibrational spectral features in the region 3500-50 cm(-1). The position of the chlorine in ortho position with respect to aldehyde group in 2-chloro-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde yields four distinct conformers; whereas the chlorine in meta position in 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde yields effectively only three conformers. Major spectral features as strong absorptions near 3160-80 cm(-1), down-shifting of the aldehydic carbonyl stretching mode and up-shifting of hydroxyl group's in-plane bending mode are explained using ab initio evidence of O-H?O bond-aided dimerization between the most stable conformers of each molecule. Absorption width of about 700 cm(-1) (～8.28 kJ/mol) of O-H stretching modes suggests a strong hydrogen bonding with the ab initio bond lengths, O-H?O in the range of 2.873-2.832 ?. A strong Raman mode near 110-85 cm(-1) in each molecule is interpreted to be coupled vibrations of pseudo-dimeric trans and cis structures.

Tautomerism of 2-amino-2-oxazolin-4-ones. II

The study of the tautomerism of 2-amino-2-oxazolin-4-one ( 1 ) and its methyl derivatives has been completed. The methylation of 1 gave 2-imino-3-methyloxazolidin-4-one ( 4 ) and 2-methyl-amino-2-oxazolin-4-one ( 7 ). All attempts to isolate O-methyl derivatives failed. The uv, nmr, ir, and Raman spectra led to the definite conclusion, in agreement with the chemical evidence, that the 2-aminooxazolinic form a , if it is theoretically possible, predominates in all compounds investigated. Otherwise the 2-iminooxazolidinic form b predominates. The assignment of the carbonyl stretching is discussed on the basis of ir and Raman data. The nmr spectrum of compound 7 shows anomalous behaviour, most probably due to the existence of a monomer-dimer equilibrium.     

study of liquid crystalline N -[4-(4- n -alkoxybenzoyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]methylanilines

New homologous series of N -[4-(4- n -alkoxybenzoyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]methylanilines [ n AH m M( n =1-8/10; m =2: ortho , m =3: meta , m =4: para )] were synthesized. They exhibited a nematic phase except for 1AH3M. The temperature dependence of their Raman spectra was observed in the spectral range of 900-1700 cm -1 . In one group of n AH m M compounds, the Raman band at about 1360 cm -1 abruptly decreased in intensity and wavenumber when the crystalline solid-liquid crystal phase transition was approached. In another group, the corresponding band increased through the phase transition. The bands have been assigned to the coupling mode between the in-plane CCH deformational vibration and the ring-N stretching vibration. Such a behaviour can be explained by the molecular conformation with different twist angles of the aniline ring in relation to the Schiff 's base plane of the molecule. Some n AH m Ms exhibited photochromism.     

Quantum chemical determination of molecular geometries and interpretation of FTIR and Raman spectra for 2,4,5- and 3,4,5-tri-fluoro-benzonitriles

Raman and FTIR spectra of 2,4,5- and 3,4,5-tri-fluoro-benzonitriles have been recorded in the regions 50-4000 cm(-1) and 400-4000 cm(-1), respectively. Measurement of depolarization ratios for the Raman lines has also been made. Optimized geometrical parameters, charge distributions and vibrational wavenumbers were calculated using ab initio quantum chemical Gaussian 03, Revision C.02 software. Each vibration has been assigned using observed wavenumbers in the IR and Raman spectra and their relative intensities which measured by normalizing the highest intensity, depolarization ratios of the Raman lines, the calculated frequencies and vector displacements with the help of GaussView software.     

Vibrational spectra and assignments of 5-amino-2-chlorobenzoic acid by ab initio Hartree-Fock and density functional methods

The Fourier transform Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectra of 5-amino-2-chlorobenzoic acid (5A2CBA) were recorded in the solid phase. Geometry opitimizations were done without any constraint and harmonic-vibrational wavenumber and several thermodynamic parameters were calculated for the minimum energy conformer at ab initio and DFT levels invoking 6-311G(d,p) basis set and the results are compared with the experimental values with the help of three specific scaling procedures, the observed vibrational wavenumbers in FTIR and FT-Raman spectra were analyzed and assigned to different normal modes of the molecule. Most of the modes have wavenumbers in the expected range, the error obtained was in general very low. The appropriate theoretical spectrograms for the FTIR spectra of the title molecule were also constructed.     

Experimental and theoretical surface enhanced Raman scattering study of 2-amino-4-methylbenzothiazole adsorbed on colloidal silver particles

The adsorption of 2-amino-4-methylbenzothiazole (2-AMBT) on colloidal silver particles has been investigated by a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) study. The SERS spectra of the 2-AMBT molecule at varied adsorbate concentrations recorded in different time domains are compared with its Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum and normal Raman spectrum (NRS) in the bulk and in solution. The experimentally observed SERS spectra are compared with the theoretically modeled surface complexes using ab initio restricted Hatree-Fock (RHF) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The most favorable adsorptive sites of the 2-AMBT molecule have been estimated by natural population analysis (NPA) using the above-mentioned high level of theories. The enhancement of the in-plane modes together with the appearance of Ag-N stretching frequency at 215 cm(-1) indicates that the 2-AMBT molecule is adsorbed on the silver surface through the lone pair electrons of both nitrogen atoms with the molecular plane nearly vertical to the surface.     

Vibrational assignment, structure and intramolecular hydrogen bond of 4-methylamino-3-penten-2-one

The molecular structure, intramolecular hydrogen and vibrational frequencies of 4-methylamino-3-penten-2-one were investigated by a series of density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations and ab initio calculation at the post-Hartree-Fock (MP2) level. Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra of this compound and its deuterated analogue were clearly assigned. The calculated geometrical parameters show a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond with a N...O distance of 2.622-2.670 A. This bond length is about 0.02 A shorter than that in its parent, 4-amino-3- penten-2-one which is in agreement with spectroscopic results. Furthermore, the conformations of methyl groups with respect to the plane of the molecule and with respect to each other were investigated.     

4H-3,1-Benzoxazin-4-ones methoxy-substituted 2-(2-arenesulfonylaminophenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones

Methoxy-substituted 2-(2-tosylaminophenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one and 2-phenyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one were synthesized. Their UV, IR, and luminescence spectra were studied. The position of the methoxy group affects the strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB). The luminescence properties of methoxy-substituted 2-(2-tosylaminophenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones are associated with the strength of the IHB. The luminescence maximum is shifted to the short-wave region with strengthening of the IHB, and the luminescence intensity increase simultaneously.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1028–1032, August, 1971.The authors thank Yu.

2-Chloro- and 2-bromo-3-pyridinecarboxaldehydes: structures, rotamers, fermi resonance and vibration modes

FT-Infrared (4000-400 cm(-1)) and NIR-FT-Raman (4000-50 cm(-1)) spectral measurements have been made for 2-chloro- and 2-bromo-3-pyridinecarboxaldehydes. A DFT vibration analysis at B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p) level, valence force-fields and vibrational mode calculations have been performed. Aided by very good agreement between observed and computed vibration spectra, a complete assignment of fundamental vibration modes to the observed absorptions and Raman bands has been proposed. Orientations of the aldehydic group have produced two oblate asymmetric rotamers for each molecule, ON-trans and ON-cis: the ON-trans rotamer being more stable than cis by 3.42 kcal mol(-1) for 2-chloro-3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and 3.68 kcal mol(-1) for 2-bromo-3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde. High potential energy barrier ca 14 kcal/mol, induced by steric hindrance, restricts rotamers' population to ON-trans only. It is observed that, in the presence of bromine, C-H stretching modes are pronounced; a missing characteristic ring mode in chlorine's presence shows at 1557 cm(-1); the characteristic ring mode at 1051 cm(-1) is diminished; a mixed mode near 707 cm(-1) is enhanced. Further, an observed doublet near 1696-1666 cm(-1) in both IR and Raman spectra is explained on the basis of Fermi resonance between aldehydic carbonyl stretching at 1696 cm(-1) and a combination mode of ring stretch near 1059 cm(-1) and deformation vibration, 625 cm(-1). A strong Raman aldehydic torsional mode at 62 cm(-1) is interpreted to correspond to the dominant ON-trans over cis rotamers population.     

Ab initio and DFT studies of the vibrational spectra of hydrogen-bonded PhOH...(H2O)4 complexes

The vibrational characteristics (vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities) for the hydrogen-bonded complex of phenol with four water molecules PhOH...(H2O)4 (structure 4A) have been predicted using ab initio and DFT (B3LYP) calculations with 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The changes in the vibrational characteristics from free monomers to a complex have been calculated. The ab initio and B3LYP calculations show that the observed four intense bands at 3299, 3341, 3386 and 3430 cm(-1) can be assigned to the hydrogen-bonded OH stretching vibrations in the complex PhOH...(H2O)4 (4A). The complexation leads to very large red shifts of these vibrations and very strong increase in their IR intensity. The predicted red shifts for these vibrations with B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) calculations are in very good agreement with the experimentally observed. It was established that the phenolic OH stretching vibration is the most sensitive to the hydrogen bonding. The predicted red-shift with the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) calculations for the most stable ring structure 4A (-590 cm(-1)) is in better agreement with the experimentally observed than the red-shift, predicted with SCF/6-31G(d,p) calculations. The magnitude of the wavenumber shift is indicative of relatively strong OH...H hydrogen-bonded interaction. The complexation between phenol and four water molecules leads to strong increase of the IR intensity of the phenolic OH stretching vibration (up to 38 times).     

A three-dimensional ab initio potential energy surface and predicted infrared spectra for the He-N2O complex

We report a three-dimensional ab initio potential energy surface for He-N(2)O using a supermolecular method at the coupled-cluster singles and doubles with noniterative inclusion of connected triple level. Besides the intermolecular stretching and bending modes, we included the Q(3) normal mode for the nu(3) antisymmetric stretching vibration of N(2)O molecule in order to simulate the observed infrared spectra in the nu(3) region of N(2)O, especially to explain the frequency shift of the band origin in the infrared spectra. The harmonic oscillator approximation is used for the potential curve of the Q(3) mode of the isolate N(2)O molecule. The intermolecular potential energy surfaces are calculated for five potential-optimized discrete variable representation grid points of the Q(3) mode. The three-dimensional discrete variable representation method was employed to calculate the rovibrational states without separating the inter- and intramolecular nuclear motions. The calculated transition frequencies and line intensities of the rotational transitions in the nu(3) region of N(2)O for the van der Waals ground vibrational state are in good agreement with the observed infrared spectra. The calculated band shifts are found to be 0.1704 and 0.1551 cm(-1) for (4)He-N(2)O and (3)He-N(2)O, respectively, which agree well with the observed values of 0.2532 and 0.2170 cm(-1).     

Raman spectroscopic study of a hydroxy-arsenate mineral containing bismuth-atelestite Bi2O(OH)(AsO4)

The Raman spectrum of atelestite Bi2O(OH)(AsO4), a hydroxy-arsenate mineral containing bismuth, has been studied in terms of spectra-structure relations. The studied spectrum is compared with the Raman spectrum of atelestite downloaded from the RRUFF database. The sharp intense band at 834 cm(-1) is assigned to the ν1 AsO4(3-) (A1) symmetric stretching mode and the three bands at 767, 782 and 802 cm(-1) to the ν3 AsO4(3-) antisymmetric stretching modes. The bands at 310, 324, 353, 370, 395, 450, 480 and 623 cm(-1) are assigned to the corresponding ν4 and ν2 bending modes and BiOBi (vibration of bridging oxygen) and BiO (vibration of non-bridging oxygen) stretching vibrations. Lattice modes are observed at 172, 199 and 218 cm(-1). A broad low intensity band at 3095 cm(-1) is attributed to the hydrogen bonded OH units in the atelestite structure. A weak band at 1082 cm(-1) is assigned to δ(BiOH) vibration.     

Vibrational spectroscopic, first-order hyperpolarizability and HOMO, LUMO studies of 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene based on Hartree-Fock and DFT calculations

The Fourier-transform infrared spectrum of 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene (DCNB) was recorded in the region 4000-400cm(-1). The Fourier-transform Raman spectrum of DCNB was also recorded in the region 3500-50cm(-1). Quantum chemical calculations of energies, geometrical structure and vibrational wavenumbers of DCNB were carried out by ab initio HF and density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumber values of most of the fundamentals is very small. The values of the total dipole moment (μ) and the first-order hyperpolarizability (β) of the investigated compound were computed using ab initio quantum mechanical calculations. The calculated results also show that the DCNB might have microscopic nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior with non-zero values. A detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of DCNB is also reported based on total energy distribution (TED). The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies shows that charge transfer occur within the molecule. The theoretical FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra for the title compound have also been constructed.     

Vibrational spectral analysis and first hyperpolarizability studies of 1-bromonaphthalene based on ab initio and DFT methods

In this work, the experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra of 1-bromonaphthalene (1-BN) were studied. FTIR and FT Raman spectra were recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1) and 3500-50 cm(-1), respectively. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state were calculated by using ab initio Hartree-Fock and density functional method (B3LYP) with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational frequencies were calculated and scaled values were compared with experimental FTIR and FT Raman spectra. The observed and calculated frequencies are found to be in good agreement. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. The optimized geometric parameters were calculated. The predicted first hyperpolarizability also shows that the molecule might have a reasonably good nonlinear optical (NLO) behaviour. The calculated HOMO-LUMO energy gap reveals that charge transfer occurs within the molecule.     

FTIR and FT-Raman spectra, assignments, ab initio HF and DFT analysis of xanthine

The molecular vibrations of xanthine were investigated in polycrystalline sample, at room temperature by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and FT-Raman spectroscopies. The spectra of the molecule have been recorded in the regions 4000-50 cm(-1) and 3500-100 cm(-1), respectively. Theoretical information on the optimized geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared and Raman intensities were obtained by means of ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) gradient calculations with complete relaxation in the potential energy surface using 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational frequencies which were determined experimentally from the spectral data are compared with those obtained theoretically from ab initio and DFT calculations. A close agreement was achieved between the observed and calculated frequencies by refinement of the scale factors. The infrared and Raman spectra were also predicted from the calculated intensities. Thermodynamic properties like entropy, heat capacity, zero point energy have been calculated for the molecule. Unambiguous vibrational assignment of all the fundamentals was made using the potential energy distribution (PED).     

Vibrations and hydrogen bonding in porphycene

Combined use of IR, Raman, neutron scattering and fluorescence measurements for porphycene isolated in helium nanodroplets, supersonic jet and cryogenic matrices, as well as for solid and liquid solutions, resulted in the assignments of almost all of 108 fundamental vibrations. The puzzling feature of porphycene is the apparent lack of the N-H stretching band in the IR spectrum, predicted to be the strongest of all bands by standard harmonic calculations. Theoretical modeling of the IR spectra, based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, reveals that the N-H stretching mode should appear as an extremely broad band in the 2250-3000 cm(-1) region. Coupling of the N-H stretching vibration to other modes is discussed in the context of multidimensional character of intramolecular double hydrogen transfer in porphycene. The analysis can be generalized to other strongly hydrogen-bonded systems.     

Raman spectroscopy of newberyite, hannayite and struvite

The phosphate minerals hannayite, newberyite and struvite have been studied by Raman spectroscopy using a thermal stage. Hannayite and newberyite are characterised by an intense band at around 980cm(-1) assigned to the v(1) symmetric stretching vibration of the HPO(4) units. In contrast the symmetric stretching mode is observed at 942cm(-1) for struvite. The Raman spectra are characterised by multiple v(3) anti-symmetric stretching bands and v(2) and v(4) bending modes indicating strong distortion of the HPO(4) and PO(4) units. Hannayite and newberyite are defined by bands at 3382 and 3350cm(-1) attributed to HOPO(3) vibrations and hannayite and struvite by bands at 2990, 2973 and 2874 assigned to NH(4)(+) bands. Raman spectroscopy has proven most useful for the analysis of these 'cave' minerals where complex paragenetic relationships exist between the minerals.     

FTIR and FT Raman, molecular geometry, vibrational assignments, ab initio and density functional theory calculations for 1,5-methylnaphthalene

The FTIR and FT Raman vibrational spectra of 1,5-methylnaphthalene (1,5-MN) have been recorded using Brunker IFS 66 V Spectrometer in the range 3600-10 cm(-1) in the solid phase. A detailed vibrational spectral analysis has been carried out and assignments of the observed fundamental bands have been proposed on the basis of peak positions and relative intensities. The Optimized molecular geometry, harmonic frequencies, electronic polarizability, atomic charges, dipole moment, rotational constants and several thermodynamic parameters in the ground state were calculated using ab initio Hartree Fock (HF) and density functional B3LYP methods (DFT) with 6-311++ G(d) basis set. With the help of different scaling factors, the observed vibrational wavenumbers in FTIR and FT Raman spectra were analyzed and assigned to different normal modes of the molecule. Most of the modes have wavenumbers in the expected range. The results of the calculations were applied to simulated infrared and Raman spectra of the title compound which showed excellent agreement with the observed spectra.
