In the present work, we reported a combined experimental and theoretical study on molecular structure, vibrational spectra and HOMO-LUMO analysis of 2-aminobenzimidazole (2-ABD). The FTIR (400-4000 cm(-1)) and FT-Raman spectra (50-3500 cm(-1)) of 2-ABD were recorded. The molecular geometry, harmonic vibrational wavenumbers and bonding features of 2-ABD in the ground-state have been calculated by using the density functional B3LYP method with 6-311++G(d,p) and 6-31G(d) as basis sets. The energy and oscillator strength were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) result complements with the experimental findings. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies showed that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. Finally, the calculation results were applied to simulate infrared and Raman spectra of the title compound which showed good agreement with the observed spectra.     

Molecular structure, vibrational spectroscopic, first hyperpolarizability, NBO and HOMO, LUMO studies of P-Iodobenzene sulfonyl chloride

In this work, the experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra of P-Iodobenzene sulfonyl chloride (P-IBSC) were studied. P-IBSC and its derivatives present in many biologically active compounds. Because of their spectroscopic properties and chemical significance in particular, sulfonyl chloride and its derivatives have been studied extensively by spectroscopic (FTIR and FT-Raman spectra) and theoretical methods. The infrared spectra of these compounds were recorded in condensed states, while the Raman spectra were measured without polarization using both parallel and perpendicular polarizations of scattered light. The molecular geometry, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), first order hyperpolarizability and thermodynamic properties of P-IBSC have been computed with the help of density functional theory (B3LYP) and ab initio (HF) methods with the LanL2DZ basis set. The HOMO and LUMO energy gap explains the charge transfer interactions taking place within the molecule. NBO study explains charge delocalization of the molecule. The contributions of the different modes to each wave number were determined using potential energy distributions (PEDs). The experimental and calculated results were consistent with each other.

The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2-bromo-4-chlorotoluene (2B4CT) molecule have been recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1) and 3500-50 cm(-1), respectively.

The energy, geometrical parameters and vibrational wavenumbers of crotonaldehyde were calculated by using ab initio and B3LYP with 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311G(d,p) basis sets. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra for liquid state crotonaldehyde have been recorded in the region 3400-400 cm(-1) and 3400-100 cm(-1), respectively and compared with the theoretical spectrographs constructed from the scaled harmonic vibrational frequencies calculated at HF and DFT levels. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumber values of most of the fundamentals is very small. Detailed interpretations on vibrational modes have been made on the observed and theoretical spectra and PED for each mode was also reported more precisely. HOMO and LUMO energy levels are constructed and the corresponding theoretical frontier energy gaps are calculated to realise the charge transfer occurring in the molecule. The thermodynamic properties of the title compound have been calculated at different temperatures and the results reveals the standard heat capacities (C(0)(p)), standard entropies (S(0)) and standard enthalpy changes (ΔH(0)) increases with rise in temperature.     

Vibrational spectroscopic studies and DFT calculations on tribromoacetate and tribromoacetic acid in aqueous solution

Aqueous solutions of sodium tribromoacetate (NaCBr3CO2) and its corresponding acid (CBr3COOH) have been studied using Raman and infrared spectroscopy. The spectra of the species in solution were assigned according to symmetry Cs. Characteristic bands of CBr3CO2-(aq) and the tribromoacetic acid, CBr3COOH(aq), are discussed. For the hydrated anion, the CO2 group, the symmetric CO2 stretching mode at 1332 cm(-1) and the asymmetric stretching mode at 1651 cm(-1) are characteristic while the CO mode at 1730 cm(-1) is characteristic for the spectra of the acid. The stretching mode, νC-C at 912cm(-1) for CBr3CO2-(aq) is 10 cm(-1) lower in the anion compared with that of the acid. These characteristic modes are compared to those in acetate, CH3CO2-(aq). Coupling of the modes are fairly extensive and therefore DFT calculations have been carried out in order to compare the measured spectra with the calculated ones. The geometrical parameters such as bond length and bond angles of the tribromoacetate, and tribromoacetic acid have been obtained and may be compared with the ones published for other acetates and their conjugated acids. CBr3COOH(aq) is a moderately strong acid and the pKa value derived from quantitative Raman measurements is equal to -0.23 at 23°C. The deuterated acid CBr3COOD in heavy water has been measured as well and the assignments were given.

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 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.

The FT-IR and FT-Raman vibrational spectra of mesityl chloride (2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl chloride) were recorded. The optimized geometry and wavenumbers in the ground state were calculated using density functional (B3LYP, and B3PW91) methods with standard 6-311G(d,p) basis set. The computed B3PW91/6-311G(d,p) results show the best agreement with the experimental values over the other methods.

Molecular structure, conformational stability and vibrational wave numbers for the rotational isomers of 2-furoyl chloride and 3-furoyl chloride have been computed using the B3LYP method with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. From computations, 2-furoyl chloride was predicated to exist predominantly in cis conformation with cis–trans rotational barrier 40.40 kJ·mol^?1, and 3-furoyl chloride was predicated to exist predominantly in the trans conformation with cis–trans rotational barrier 30.17 kJ·mol^?1.

Vibrational spectroscopic studies, conformations and ab initio calculations of 3,3,3-trifluoropropyltrichlorosilane

Infrared spectra of 3,3,3-trifluoropropyltrichlorosilane (CF3CH2CH2SiCl3) were obtained in the vapour, amorphous and crystalline solid phases in the range 4000-50 cm-1. Additional spectra in argon matrices at 5.0 K were recorded before and after annealing to 20-36 K. Raman spectra of the compound as a liquid were recorded at various temperatures between 298 and 210 K and spectra of the amorphous and crystalline solids were obtained. The spectra suggested the existence of two conformers (anti and gauche) in the fluid phases and in the matrix. When the vapour was shock-frozen on a cold finger at 80 K and subsequently annealed to 120-150 K, six weak or very weak Raman bands vanished in the crystal. Similar variations were observed in the corresponding infrared spectra after annealing and four very weak IR bands disappeared after crystallization. From intensity variations between 298 and 210 K of three Raman band pairs an average value Delta(conf)H degrees (gauche-anti)=6.1+/-0.5 kJmol-1 was obtained in the liquid. Annealing experiments indicate that the anti conformer also has a lower energy in the argon matrices. The conformational equilibrium is highly shifted towards anti in the liquid, and the low energy conformer also forms the crystal. The spectra of the abundant anti conformer and the few bands ascribed to the gauche conformer have been interpreted. Ab initio calculations at the HF/6-311G(**) and B3LYP/6-311G(**) gave optimized geometries, infrared and Raman intensities and vibrational frequencies for the anti and gauche conformers. The conformational energy differences derived were 11.8 and 9.2 kJmol-1 from the HF and the B3LYP calculations, respectively.

Abstract

2,4-Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-disulfide (Lawesson’s reagent: LR) was reacted with 1,2:5,6-di-O-cyclohexylidene-α-D-glucofuranose and 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranose in toluene and gave rise to crude dithiophosphonic acids. The crude dithiophosphonic acids were treated with excess triethylamine and the triethylammonium salts of dithiophosphonic acids (1) and (2) were isolated by crystallization method. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and NMR (¹H-, ¹³C- and ³¹P-) spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. In addition, NMR spectra, the electronic properties (the electronic chemical potential, electronegativity, chemical hardness and the global electrophilicity index) and NBO analysis of compound 2 have been calculated by using the Gaussian 16?W program. The electronic properties were calculated using Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energies by density functional method (DFT/B3LYP) at 6-31G(d,p) level. The HOMO and LUMO energies are ?5.9 and ?0.72?eV, respectively. The HOMO–LUMO energy difference is 5.18?eV and this value shows that compound 2 has a high stability and low reactivity.

Vibrational characterization of L-leucine phosphonate analogues: FT-IR, FT-Raman, and SERS spectroscopy studies and DFT calculations

This study reports the Raman (FT-Raman) and absorption infrared (FT-IR) spectra, based on calculated wavenumbers and normal modes of vibrations, of the following compounds: L-Leu-D-NH-CH(Me)-PO(3)H(2) (LI), L-Leu-NH-C(Me)(2)-PO(3)H(2) (LII), L-Leu-D-NH-CH(Et)-PO(3)H(2) (LIII), L-Leu-L-NH-CH(Et)-PO(3)H(2) (LIV), L-Leu-L-NH-CH(EtOH)-PO(3)H(2) (LV), L-Leu-NH-C(Me)(Et)-PO(3)H(2) (LVI), L-Leu-L-NH-CH(PrA)-PO(3)H(2) (LVII), L-Leu-L-NH-CH(c-Pr)-PO(3)H(2) (LVIII), L-Leu-L-NH-CH(t-Bu)-PO(3)H(2) (LIX), L-Leu-L-NH-CH(BuA)-PO(3)H(2) (LX), L-Leu-L-NH-CH(c-Bu)-PO(3)H(2) (LXI), and L-Leu-L-NH-C(Adm)-PO(3)H(2) (LXII). The equilibrium geometries and vibrational wavenumbers were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP, 6-311++G** level using Gaussian 03, Raint, GaussSum 0.8, and Gar2ped software. We briefly compare and analyze the experimental and calculated vibrational wavenumbers in the range 4000-400 cm(-1). In addition, the Raman wavenumbers are compared to those from the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra for the phosphono analogues of l-leucine (l-Leu) adsorbed on a colloidal silver surface in an aqueous solution. The geometries of these molecules etched on the silver surface were deduced from observed changes in both the intensity and broadness of Raman bands in the spectra of the bound versus free species. For example, LVI appears to adsorb onto the colloidal silver particles mainly through the amine group and amide bond, which assists in the adsorption process, whereas LII shows strongly enhanced SERS bands due to the rocking, twisting, and stretching vibrations of the N(amid)C(sg)(Me)(2)P fragment, suggesting that this peptide's interaction with the silver surface occurs mainly via this fragment. On the other hand, the most dominant SERS bands of LIII and LIV due to the P═O bond stretches reflect P═O···Ag complex formation.
