In this work, the experimental and theoretical UV, NMR and vibrational spectra of 2-chloro-6-methylaniline (2-Cl-6-MA, C₇H₈NCl) were studied. The ultraviolet absorption spectra of compound that dissolved in ethanol were examined in the range of 200–400 nm. The ¹H, ¹³C and DEPT NMR spectra of the compound were recorded. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2-Cl-6-MA in the liquid phase 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 using density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP exchange correlation and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational frequencies were calculated and scaled values were compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The observed and calculated frequencies were 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. Isotropic chemical shifts were calculated using the gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method. Comparison of the calculated NMR chemical shifts and absorption wavelengths with the experimental values revealed that DFT method produces good results.

Comparison of band model and integrated line-by-line synthetic spectra for methane in the 2.3 μm region

The 2.3 μm spectral region of methane can be used to retrieve cloud properties of planetary spectra, provided parameters for the methane spectrum are known. Two standard techniques for calculating absorption spectra in this region are compared here. A Voigt profile Mayer-Goody random band model is applied, using coefficients empirically fitted by Fink et al. to CH₄ spectra recorded with high absorping amounts at 10 cm^?1 resolution. Calculation of the absorption is also done with a line-by-line direct integration method for the same gas conditions using molecular parameters obtained by combining an older unpublished list of observed positions and estimated line strengths (derived from 0.04 cm^?1 resolution data) with quantum assignments from the literature. The molecular parameters have been evaluated for the 4180–4590 cm^?1 region by comparing new laboratory spectra with 0.01 cm^?1 resolution recorded at 296 and 153K with synthetic spectra calculated at the same conditions. The deficiencies of the molecular parameters and random band coefficients for this spectral region of CH₄ are then discussed qualitatively and demonstrated by comparing 10 cm^?1 resolution synthetic spectra calculated by both methods for the same gas conditions at 296, 153, and 55 K.Curves of growth of the total equivalent width are calculated at 296 and 55K for a pathlength of 50 cm and pressures up to 10 atm. Changing the mean line spacing in the band model gives better agreement between the spectra calculated by the two techniques at low gas temperatures. The required multiplier has been determined for the mean line spacing for pressures from 10^?6 to 10^?1 atm at 55, 100, and 150 K.

Vibrational Spectroscopic Investigation,First Hyper Polarizability and Homo–Lumo Analysis of Tetrahydroxy-1,4Quinone Hydrate Using Density Functional Theory and Hartree-Fock Method

The FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of tetrahydroxy-1,4quinone hydrate have been recorded in the regions 4000–400 and 3500–50 cm^–1 respectively. Using the observed Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and FT-Raman data, a complete vibrational assignment and analysis of the fundamental modes of the compound has been carried out. The optimum molecular geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities and Raman scattering activities, were calculated by the density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) and Hartree–Fock (HF) method with 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumber values of most of the fundamental vibrations is very small. A detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of tetrahydroxy-1,4quinone hydrate is also reported. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within the molecule.

High-resolution infrared and laser photoacoustic spectroscopy of monochloroacetylene

High-resolution vibration—rotation spectra of monochloroacetylene (HCCCl) have been recorded in two different wavenumber regions. Fourier transform infrared interferometer measurements in the 4000–10000cm^?1 range have been performed with a resolution of 0.005–0.016cm^?1 and titanium: sapphire ring laser intracavity photoacoustic measurements in the 12500–12600cm^?1 and 12800–12860cm^?1 regions have been carried out with a Doppler-limited resolution of about 0.02 cm^?1. Altogether, 40 vibrational bands belonging to the HCC³⁵ Cl and 15 bands belonging to the HCC³⁷ Cl isotopic species have been rotationally assigned. A vibrational model, based on the conventional rectilinear normal coordinate theory including anharmonic Fermi, Darling—Dennison and vibrational l-type doubling resonances, has been used to attach vibrational labels to the bands. This approach is found to describe well the rovibrational energy level structure at least in the energy range covered in this work. The model shows that the CH oscillator becomes decoupled from the rest of the molecule as vibrational energy increases.     

Vibrational spectra and ring-puckering of 2-cyclopenten-1-ones

The mid-infrared, far-infrared, and Raman spectra of 2-cyclopenten-1-one and 2-cyclopenten-1-one-5, 5-d₂ have been recorded. Assignments for each of the thirty vibrational fundamentals have been made for the two molecules. Several ring-puckering transitions were observed in the far-infrared spectrum of each molecule. From these were determined potential functions which establish the planarity of the ring system. The potential functions in reduced form derived for the hyride and deuteride are V = 15.0(Z⁴ + 8.0Z²) cm^?1 and V = 14.2(Z⁴ + 8.8Z²) cm^?1, respectively.     

Comparative Fourier Transform Infrared Investigation of Oltu-Stone (Natural Carbon Black) and Jet

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) investigation of Oltu-stone (natural carbon black) and jet revealed several differences between these carbonaceous materials. The band peaking at about 1000 cm^?1 is the first important difference: while the band in the jet spectra appears as one sharp peak at about 1001 cm^?1, the similar band in the Oltu-stone spectra is shifted to about 1026 cm^?1 with a broad shoulder toward high frequency. Even though the assignment of the shifted band is at present controversial, it may be attributed to carbon-oxygen stretching mode. Second, the doublet bands at about 2912 and 2843 cm^?1 are much more intense in the jet spectra then in the Oltu-stone spectra. They are confidently attributed to aliphatic C-H stretching mode. Finally, the broad water band on setting at about 3750 cm^?1 is maturated in Oltu-stone, and it is much more evident than in that of jet.

Therefore, FT-IR appears as a favorable identification method for these kinds of carbonaceous materials.     

A FT-IR Study of the Hydrolysis of Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS).

Abstract

The hydrolysis and polymerization of a non-catalyzed silica sol was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and deconvolution of the infrared spectra. The hydrolysis was followed by the 1168 and 812 cm^?1 bands which have been observed that decrease continously with the reaction time, and they dissapear showing the complete hydrolysis. The bands located at 1200 and 1147 cm^?1 are assigned to polymerization of Si-OH groups forming Si-O-Si bonds in cyclic or linear structures respectively. Both bands increase with time and are present simultaneously in the spectra showing that both kind of cross-linking of Si-OH groups are taking place in the sol to form the gel. In the gel the presence of Si-OH groups and Si-O^? free broken bonds have been detected by means of the bonds located at 960 and 920 cm^?1 respectively.

Description and Performance Analysis of an Infrared Library Search System

Abstract

An infrared library search system is described. The spectral library consists of 608 FT-IR spectra represented with a data point every 4 cm^?1 in the 3700–500 cm^?1 range. Four different similarity measures for spectral search were implemented. Performance analysis was carried out in order to estimate the ability of the system to identify organic compounds on the basis of their IR spectra.     

Vibrational spectra of a GaS single crystal

The Raman and infrared active long wavelength phonons of a GaS single crystal were studied at different temperatures in the 10–600 cm^?1 range. Properly polarized Raman spectra could be obtained with the 4880 Å exciting line and the previous assignment of the E_1g modes controversed recently could be confirmed. Infrared spectra were recorded in the 30–600 cm^?1 region. The vibrational frequencies of the crystal were also calculated using a method developed by Wieting and six new frequencies corresponding to infrared and Raman inactive modes have been proposed.We have observed that the degree of leakage of scattered intensity in unallowed polarizations increases when the wavelength of the exciting line moves off the exciton absorption front. The phonon at 74 cm^?1 was particularly sensitive and the question of the antiresonant behaviour of this compound is raised.     

Vibrational Assignment of 2-Benzoyl Pyridine and its 18O Labelled Isomer

Abstract

Vibrational spectra of 2-benzoyl pyridine and 2-benzoyl pyridine-¹⁸O have been recorded in the solid and molten state in the infrared (4000–100 cm^?1) and in the Raman (4000–50 cm^?1). Polarized Raman spectra in the molten state have also been measured. The assignment of the vibrational bands is performed using the group vibrational concept, isotopic shifts and polarization features of the normal modes.     

Schwingungsspektrum von Magnesiumsulfat-Heptahydrat (Epsomit) und Cäsiumsulfat

As in the preceding paper [1], infrared reflection spectra of single crystals of orthorhombic MgSO₄·7H₂O and MgSO₄·7D₂O have been obtained at 300°K, 80°K, and at about 14°K in the region between 4000 cm^?1 and 400 cm^?1. By a Kronig-Kramers analysis, the frequencies of the infrared active transitions have been determined. The spectra and their temperature dependence are contrasted with reflection spectra of anhydrous, orthorhombic Cs₂SO₄, which show practically no temperature dependence. The spectra of the magnesium compounds show two prominent features: 1. In the region below 700 cm^?1, the low-temperature experiments show the existence of many distinct vibrational modes arising mainly from the coupled translational and librational motions of the water molecules. These observations will be discussed in the light of the results of the preceding paper [1]. 2. The internal vibrations of the SO₄-ions at about 1100 cm^?1 present a very interesting combination of two solid-state effects on vibrational states of molecules in crystals: a) The threefold degeneracy of this mode is lifted by the deformation of the molecule due to the asymmetric crystal field, and b) the coupling of four molecules in the unit cell (resonance or correlation-field coupling) results in a further splitting of each mode into four clearly separated states of which three are infrared active. The magnitude of this splitting is calculated with the Davydov-theory (Coulomb-interaction of the transition-dipoles), making use of the crystal structure and the experimentally determined strength of the transition dipoles. Considering the limitation of the model, fairly good agreement with the experiment is obtained.
