Infrared Spectra of Morfolonium (mpH)2Mo2Cl6(H20)2(I),(mpH)2Mo2ClxBr6-x(H2O)2(II)/ (mpH)2Mo2Br6(H2O)2(III) and the Pyridinium (PyH)2Mo2I6(H2O)2(IV)Hexahalo-di(aquo): dimolybdate(II) Complexes,Containing Quadruple Metal-Metal Bounds

Abstract

The electronic (800–400 nm), infrared (4000–200,400–20 cm^?1), ordinary Raman (400–200 cm^?1) spectra of morpholinium and the pyridium hexahalo-di(aquo) dimolybdate(II) complexes, containing quadruple metal-metal bonds were investigated. The electronic spectra of the solid compounds at various temperatures (25,100 and 300K) demonstrate intense and structured bands in the visible region (510–582 nm) attributed to the expected δ→δ? transitions.

From the infrared and Raman spectra, the skeletal stretching modes in these complexes have been localized, and the charectenstic bands of these ions were observed in the expected regions.

Finally, the ionic interections were relatively weak, but the existance of phenomena was perceptible and the result was obtained in agreement with X-ray data.     

Density functional theory calculation and vibrational spectral analysis of 4‐hydroxy‐3‐(3‐oxo‐1‐phenylbutyl)‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one

The Fourier transform infrared (4000–400 cm⁻¹) and Fourier transform Raman (3500–500 cm⁻¹) spectra of 4‐hydroxy‐3‐(3‐oxo‐1‐phenylbutyl)‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one (Warfarin) have been measured and calculated. The structure optimization has been made using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Complete vibrational assignments of the observed spectra have been compared with theoretical wavenumbers. The wavenumber increasing in the methyl group shows the electronic hyperconjugation effect. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis reveals the hyperconjugation interaction and the intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The first‐order hyperpolarizability has been calculated.

Coupling of the Double Bond Stretching Vibration in Divinyl Ethers

Abstract

Examination of the Infrare and Raman spectra of cis, cis-dipropenyl ether (which was produced by isomerization of diallyl ether) has produced evidence for strong vibrational coupling between the two double-bonds. This ether has strong bands it 1655 cm^?1 in the infrared and at 1691 cm^?1 in the Raman. The 1658 cm^?1 band in the Raman is about 10 fold less intense than the strong polarised band. Thus it appears reasonable to associate the strong IR and Raman bands with the asymmetric and symmetric vibrations shown.     

FT‐Raman,FT‐IR spectral and DFT studies on 6, 8‐dichloroflavone and 6, 8‐dibromoflavone

In this study, experimental and theoretical vibrational spectral results of the molecular structures of 6,8‐dichloroflavone (6,8‐dcf) and 6,8‐dibromoflavone (6,8‐dbf) are presented. The FT‐IR and FT‐Raman spectra of the compounds have been recorded together between 4000 and 400 cm⁻¹ and 3500–5 cm⁻¹ regions, respectively. The molecular geometry and vibrational wavenumbers of 6,8‐dcf and 6,8‐dbf in their ground state have been calculated by using DFT/B3LYP functional, with 6‐31 + + G(d,p) basis set used in calculations. All calculations were performed with Gaussian03 software. The obtained vibrational wavenumbers and optimized geometric parameters were seen to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Scale factors have been used in order to compare how the calculated and experimental data are in agreement. Theoretical infrared intensities are also reported.

A complete vibrational assignment aided by the theoretical harmonic frequency analysis is proposed. The harmonic vibrational wavenumbers calculated are compared with experimental FTIR and FT Raman spectra. The observed and the calculated wavenumbers are found to be in good agreement. The experimental spectra also coincide satisfactorily with those of theoretically constructed bar‐type spectrograms. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
