Studies of vibrational spectra of 6-fluorothymine and its methyl derivatives

The solid and the argon-matrix isolated samples of 6-fluorothymine, 1-methyl-6-fluorothymine, 1,3-dimethyl-6-fluorothymine and 3-methylfluorothymine are studied at low temperatures by i.r. spectroscopy. The spectra obtained are interpreted using the calculation of planar normal vibration frequencies. The electronegative fluorine atom in the 6-position is shown to have a strong influence on the normal vibration frequency changes of crystalline and isolated thymine. NH ⋯ F hydrogen bonds are evidenced to exist in crystalline samples.     

Calculation of the in-plane force constants and vibrational spectra of pyridine and its deuterated derivatives by the CNDO/2 force method

The in-plane vibrations of pyridine and its deuterated derivatives (4-d₁, 2,6-d₂, 3,5-d₂, and d₅) have been studied with the CNDO/2 force method. The calculated values of the force field scaled by five empirical parameters yield good agreement with the experimental spectra. The results seem to permit the reassignment of some bands.     

The vibrational spectra of maleic anhydride and its deuterated species

The infrared spectra of maleic anhydride and its mono- and dideuterated species were recorded in the region 5000-50 cm⁻¹ in the vapour phase and in solution. Raman spectra of the solids and supercooled melts were obtained. Assignments of the fundamental vibrational frequencies are given, based upon semiquantitative polarization data and the infrared vapour contours as well as on the product rule and complete isotopic rule for the three compounds.     

Spectroscopic studies of poly(vinyl chloride) and its deuterated derivatives

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and all its deuterated derivatives were prepared by variation of the polymerization method and polymerization temperature to study the structure of PVC and the mechanism of addition polymerization by infrared spectroscopy and high resolution NMR spectroscopy. The CH and CH₂ stretching modes of PVC were assigned completely from the infrared spectra of PVC-αd₁, PVC-β,βd₂ and PVC-d₃. The frequencies of the CCI stretching modes of the polymers depended not only on the substituents in the trans position to the Cl atom across both adjacent C? C bonds, but also on the atom attached to the C atom of the C? Cl bond. The frequency shifts were used to assign the CCl stretching modes of PVC-βd₁ and PVC-α,βd₂ and to study the opening of the double bond of VC in the addition polymerization. The differences of the chemical shifts of the α and β protons of PVC due to the tacticity were determined experimentally by PVC-β,βd₂ and PVC-αd₁ without using the spin-decoupling technique. With PVC-α,βd₂, the conception of the tetrad was required to interpret the four observed peaks whose intensities changed with the polymerization temperature and the trans–cis composition of the monomer used.     

Photoelectron spectra of 1,2,3-triazine and its methyl derivatives

The He(1α) photoeletron (PE) spectra of 1,2,3-triazabenzene and its five mono-, di-, and tri-methyl derivatives are repored. The PE bands are assigned by comparison with the results of molecular orbital (MO) calculations and empirical correlation procedures.     

Calculation of the total decay of ethynylbenzene and some of its deuterated derivatives

In this paper we present an absolute calculation of the radiationless decay of the lowest triplet state of ethynylbenzene and some of its deuterated derivatives. The rate constants were evaluated on the basis of Herzberg—Teller coupling. The absolute decay rates and the effect of deuterium substitution are in agreement with experiment within a maximum error of one order of magnitude. The distribution of the electronic energy among the accepting modes is discussed.     

Vibrational spectra of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole and deuterated derivatives

The infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole have been recorded in the vapor, liquid (melt and solution) and solid states. Two deuterated derivatives, C5H7N-ND and C5D7N-NH, were also studied in solid state and in solutions. Instrumental resolution was relatively low, 2.0 cm(-1) in the IR and approximately 2.7 cm(-1) in the Raman spectra. The solids are made of cyclic hydrogen-bonded trimers. These trimers, present also in chloroform and acetone solutions, give rise to characteristic high absorption IR spectra in the 3200-2500 cm(-1) region, related to Fermi resonance involving nu(NH) vibrations. Bands from trimers are not present in water solutions but these solutions show spectral features similar in several ways to those of the trimer, attributable to solvent-bonded complexes. Evidence of H-bonding interactions with the other solvents is also visible in the high-frequency region. The two very intense bands in the Raman spectra of the solids appearing at 115 and 82 cm(-1) in the parent compound are also connected with a trimer formation. To interpret the experimental data, ab initio computations of the harmonic vibrational frequencies and IR and Raman intensities were carried out using the Gaussian 94 program package after full optimization at the RHF/6-31G* level for the three monomeric compounds as well as for three models of the trimer, with C3h, C3 and C1 symmetry. The combined use of experiments and computations allow a firm assignment of most of the observed bands for all the systems. In general, the agreement between theory and experiment is very good, with the exception of the IR and Raman intensities of some transitions. Particularly noticeable is the failure of the theoretical calculation in accounting for the high intensity of the Raman bands of the solid about 115 and 82 cm(-1).     

Structures and vibrational spectra for protonated carbonyl sulfide

The HOCS⁺ form of protonated OCS was identified in 1987 using high-resolution difference frequency laser spectroscopy by assigning the vibrational frequency (ν=3435cm⁻¹) as the O-H stretch. The isomer HSCO⁺ was not detected in spite of a search of the S-H stretching region. Theoretical calculations indicate, however, that the S-protonated form lies significantly lower than the O-protonated form. To resolve this apparent discrepancy between experiments and theoretical calculations, highly accurate ab initio studies of both species have been carried out. Our results indicate that the S-protonated form lies about 5 kcal/mol below the O-protonated one. The SH stretching frequency is predicted to be found around 2496cm⁻¹. A new search for the ν₁ band of HSCO⁺ using a diode spectrometer showed no evidence of HSCO⁺. Received: 26 November 1996 / Accepted: 3 March 1997

Studies on nitramide and its methyl derivatives with ab initio calculations. IV. The harmonic force field and vibrational spectra of dimethylnitramine and its isotopic derivatives

The complete harmonic vibrational force field of dimethylnitramine has been calculated at the Hartree-Fock level using 4–21G basis set. The harmonic force field was then scaled with scale factors previously derived from N-methylnitramine, and the vibrational spectrum of dimethylnitramine was computed. This a priori prediction, made with no reference to observations on dimethylnitramine, agrees with the experimental IR spectrum in gas phase with a mean deviation of 8.4 cm^?1. Some of the scale factors were reoptimized by fitting of the computed force field to experimental data. The new set of scale factors reduced the mean deviation to 4.5 cm^?1, and was used to predict the vibrational spectrum of deuterated form of dimethylnitramine(-6D). Dipole moment derivatives were also calculated and used to predict infrared intensities which are comparable with experimental values.     

Unraveling anharmonic effects in the vibrational predissociation spectra of H5O2(+) and its deuterated analogues

The nature of anharmonic couplings in the H(5)O(2)(+) "Zundel" ion and its deuterated isotopologues is investigated through comparison of their measured and calculated vibrational spectra. This follows a recent study in which we reported spectra for H(5)O(2)(+), D(5)O(2)(+), and D(4)HO(2)(+) from ～600 to 4000 cm(-1), as well as H(4)DO(2)(+) in the OH and OD stretching regions [ J. Phys. Chem. B 2008 , 112 , 321 ]. While the assignments of the higher-energy transitions associated with the fundamentals of the exterior OH and OD motions are relatively straightforward, difficulties arise in the assignment of the lower-frequency regions that involve displacement of the bridging proton, especially for the isotopically mixed species. Here we revisit the Ar-tagged isotopomers, and report the low energy action spectrum of H(4)DO(2)(+) for the first time, as well as present significantly improved spectra for the D(4)HO(2)(+) and D(5)O(2)(+) systems. Band assignments are clarified in several cases using IR-IR hole-burning. We then investigate the physical origin of the anharmonic effects encoded in these spectra using a recently developed technique in which the anharmonic frequencies and intensities of transitions (involving up to two quanta of excitation) are evaluated using the ground state probability amplitudes [ J. Phys. Chem. A 2009 , 113 , 7346 ] obtained from diffusion Monte Carlo simulations. This approach has the advantage that it is applicable to low-symmetry systems [such as (HDO)H(+)(OH(2))] that are not readily addressed using highly accurate methods such as the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) approach. Moreover, it naturally accommodates an intuitive evaluation of the types of motion that contribute oscillator strength in the various regions of the spectrum, even when the wave function is intrinsically not separable as a product of low-dimensional approximate solutions. Spectra for H(5)O(2)(+), D(5)O(2)(+), H(4)DO(2)(+), and D(4)HO(2)(+) that are calculated by this approach are shown to be in excellent agreement with the measured spectra for these species, leading to reassignments of two of the bands in the intramolecular bending region of D(4)HO(2)(+).

Conformational behaviour and vibrational spectra of cyclopropyl methyl ketone and methyl cyclopropyl-carboxylate

Infrared spectra in the vapour, liquid, and crystalline states and Raman spectra in the liquid and crystalline states have been obtained for cyclopropyl methyl ketone and for methyl cyclopropylcarboxylate. In cyclopropyl methyl ketone, the dominant conformer in the liquid and vapour states, the cis, has been shown to exist exclusively in the crystal. In methyl cyclopropylcarboxylate, the conformer dominant in the liquid and vapour states has been demonstrated to exist in the crystal. Vibrational assignments are made for the ring modes and for those modes which are sensitive to conformational changes.

Vibrational spectra and molecular structure of methyl vinyl ether

The IR and Raman spectra of methyl-d₃ vinyl and methyl-d₃ vinyl-d₃ ethers are reported (along with earlier published spectra of the undeuterated molecule). The normal coordinate analysis, based upon CNDO/2 force constant calculations, confirms the absence of significant changes in CH₃ group dynamical properties in methyl vinyl ether compared to saturated ethers. Normal coordinate calculations of possible rotamers (cis structure force field with certain assumptions has been used) favours the planar trans (or close to it) structure of the second isomer.     

Ab initio and DFT studies of the vibrational spectra of benzofuran and some of its derivatives

The vibrational spectra of benzofuran and some of its derivatives have been systematically investigated by ab initio and density functional B3LYP methods. The harmonic vibrational wavenumbers and intensity of vibrational bands were calculated at ab initio and DFT levels invoking different basis sets up to 6-311++g**. Vibrational assignments have been made and it has been found that the calculated DFT frequencies agree well in most cases with the observed frequencies for each molecule. Conformational studies have also been carried out and it is evident from ab initio calculations that 2(3H) benzofuranone is more stable than 3(2H) benzofuranone in support to our earlier semiempirical results.     

Vibrational analysis of tellurophene and its deuterated derivatives

The i.r. and Raman spectra of tellurophene, tellurophene-2-d₁, tellurophene-2-5-d₂, tellurophene-3-4-d₂, tellurophene-2-3-4-d₃ and tellurophene-2-3-4-5-d₄ have been studied. A vibrational assignment of the fundamental frequencies of all these molecules has been carried out on the basis of i.r. vapor band contours and depolarization states of Raman lines. Such an assignment conveniently fits the isotopic “sum” and “product” rules. A comparison of the vibrational behaviour of tellurophene and that of the other congeners is made and a rationalization of some frequency shifts is attempted.
