Experimental, theoretical calculations of the vibrational spectra and conformational analysis of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol

In the present work, we reported a combined experimental and theoretical study on conformational stability, molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP). The FT-IR (400-4000cm(-1)) and FT-Raman spectra (50-3500cm(-1)) of 2,4-DTBP were recorded. The molecular geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies and bonding features of 2,4-DTBP in the ground-state have been calculated by using the density functional BLYP/B3LYP methods. The energy calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) result complements with the experimental findings. The calculated highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies show that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. Finally the calculation results were compared with measured infrared and Raman spectra of the title compound which showed good agreement with observed spectra.

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).     

Experimental and theoretical study of the vibrational spectra of 12-crown-4-alkali metal cation complexes

The vibrational, Raman, and IR, spectra of the five 12-crown-4 (12c4) complexes with Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+ alkali metal cations were measured. Except for a small shift of the position of some bands in the vibrational spectra of the Li+ complex, the vibrational spectra of the five complexes are so similar that it is concluded that the five complexes exist in the same conformation. B3LYP/6-31+G* force fields were calculated for six of the eight predicted conformations in a previous report (J. Phys. Chem. A 2005, 109, 8041) of the 12c4-Li+, Na+, and K+ complexes that are of symmetries higher than the C1 symmetry. These six conformations, in energy order, are of C4, Cs, Cs, C(2v), C(2v), and Cs symmetries. Comparison between the experimental and calculated vibrational frequencies assuming any of the above-mentioned six conformations shows that the five complexes exist in the C4 conformation. This agrees with the fact that the five alkali metal cations are larger than the 12c4 ring cavity. The B3LYP/6-31+G* force fields of the C4 conformation of the Li+, Na+ and K+ complexes were scaled using a set of eight scale factors and the scale factors were varied so as to minimize the difference between the calculated and experimental vibrational frequencies. The root-mean-square (rms) deviations of the calculated frequencies from the experimental frequencies were 7.7, 5.6, and 5.1 cm(-1) for the Li+, Na+, and K+ complexes, respectively. To account for the earlier results of the Li+ complex that the Cs conformation is more stable than the C4 conformation by 0.16 kcal/mol at the MP2/6-31+G* level, optimized geometries of the complex were calculated for the C4 and Cs conformations at the MP2/6-311++G** level. The C4 conformation was calculated to be more stable than the Cs conformation by 0.13 kcal/mol.     

Theoretical investigation of the structure and vibrational spectra of carbamoyl azide

Molecular structure and vibrational frequencies of carbamoyl azide NH2CO-NNN have been investigated with ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) methods. The molecular geometries for all the possible conformers of the molecule were optimized using DFT-B3LYP, DFT-BLYP and MP2 applying the standard 6-311++G** basis set. From the calculations, the molecule was predicted to exist predominantly in cis conformation with the cis-trans rotational barrier of about 7.91-9.10 kcal/mol depending on the level of theory applied. The vibrational frequencies and the corresponding vibrational assignments of carbamoyl azide in Cs symmetry were examined theoretically and the calculated Infrared and Raman spectra of the molecule in the cis conformation were plotted. Observed frequencies for normal modes were compare with those calculated from normal mode coordinate analysis carried out on the basis of ab initio and DFT force fields using the standard 6-311++G** basis set of the theoretical optimized geometry. Theoretical IR intensities and Raman activities are reported.     

Vibrational spectra and rotational isomerism of bis(N-2-chloroethyl)nitramine

The IR and Raman spectra of bis(N-2-chloroethyl)nitramine (BCENA) in the liquid and crystalline states and in CCl₄ and CH₃CN solutions are studied. The spectra are compared, and it is concluded that BCENA exists as a mixture of conformers of different polarities in the liquid state and as one less polar conformer in the crystalline state. To determine the conformations corresponding to the total electron energy minima and interpret the vibrational spectrum of BCENA, we performed an ab initio quantum chemical calculation of the BCENA molecule in the Hartree-Fock approximation using the 3–21G* and 6–31G* basis sets. Out of twelve possible conformations five are stable; the most stable conformer is C₂(GG). The frequencies and forms of normal vibrations of stable conformers are calculated using scaled quantum chemical force fields. The calculated and experimental frequencies are compared, and the relations between the frequencies of skeletal stretching and bending vibrations are analyzed. It is concluded that the BCENA crystal is formed by the C₂ (GG) conformer. The vibrational spectrum is interpreted, and the frequencies are assigned to vibrations of conformers differing in form.

Matrix isolation FT-IR, FT-Raman spectroscopy, conformational ab initio calculations, and vibrational frequencies of meso and racemic-2,4-pentanediol

The infrared spectra of meso-2,4-pentanediol and racemic-2,4-pentanediol were measured in an argon matrix at 20 K. The Raman spectra of the pure liquids (meso and racemic) were measured at room temperature. The spectra were obtained using a Fourier transform spectrophotometer and a cryostat for the low temperature matrix. The meso and racemic forms of the diol were separated by means of a spinning band distillation column. The energies of nine possible conformers of the meso form and nine conformers of the racemic form were calculated. Extensive ab initio calculations using B3LYP, MP2 and HF methods with several basis sets consistently gave the lowest energy for the TT conformer of the meso form and the G⁻T (=TG⁻) conformer of the racemic form. Ab initio calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G** level were performed for the lowest energy conformer of meso and racemic pentanediol to obtain the equilibrium geometry, vibrational frequencies, and infrared and Raman intensities. Calculated and experimental frequencies were compared to make vibrational assignments.     

Structure and vibrational assignment of the enol form of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione

Molecular structure of 1,1,1-trifluoro-pentane-2,4-dione, known as trifluoro-acetylacetone (TFAA), has been investigated by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and the results were compared with those of acetylacetone (AA) and hexafluoro-acetylacetone (HFAA). The harmonic vibrational frequencies of both stable cis-enol forms were calculated at B3LYP level of theory using 6-31G** and 6-311++G** basis sets. We also calculated the anharmonic frequencies at B3LYP/6-31G** level of theory for both stable cis-enol isomers. The calculated frequencies, Raman and IR intensities, and depolarization ratios were compared with the experimental results. The energy difference between the two stable cis-enol forms, calculated at B3LYP/6-311++G**, is only 5.89 kJ/mol. The observed vibrational frequencies and Raman and IR intensities are in excellent agreement with the corresponding values calculated for the most stable conformation, 2TFAA. According to the theoretical calculations, the hydrogen bond strength for the most stable conformer is 57 kJ/mol, about 9.5kJ/mol less than that of AA and about 14.5 kJ/mol more than that of HFAA. These hydrogen bond strengths are consistent with the frequency shifts for OH/OD stretching and OH/OD out-of-plane bending modes upon substitution of CH(3) groups with CF(3) groups. By comparing the vibrational spectra of both theoretical and experimental data, it was concluded that 2TFAA is the dominant isomer.

A complete vibrational assignment aided by the theoretical harmonic frequency analysis has been proposed. The harmonic vibrational frequencies calculated have been compared with experimental FTIR and FT Raman spectra. The observed and the calculated frequencies are found to be in good agreement. The experimental spectra also coincide satisfactorily with those of theoretically constructed bar type spectrograms.     

Theoretical study of the structures, stability and vibrational spectra of the nitrous acid complexes with CH4

The structures, stability and vibrational spectra of the binary complexes CH4...HONO-trans and CH4...HONO-cis have been investigated using ab initio calculations at the SCF and MP2 levels with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set and B3LYP calculations with 6-31G(d,p) and 6-31+G(d,p) basis sets. Full geometry optimization was made for the complexes studied. It was established that the complex CH4...HONO-trans is more stable by 0.41 kcal mol(-1) than the complex CH4...HONO-cis. The accuracy of the ab initio calculations have been estimated by comparison between the predicted values of the vibrational characteristics (vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities) and the available experimental data. It was established, that the methods, used in this study are well adapted to the problem under examination. The predicted values with the B3LYP calculations are very near to the results, obtained with 6-311++G(d,p)/MP2. The changes in the vibrational characteristics of methane and trans-, cis-nitrous acid upon formation of the hydrogen bond show that the complexes CH4...HONO-trans and CH4...HONO-cis have geometry in which the OH group interacts with a methane molecule forming a single hydrogen bond. This fact is confirmed by relatively strong perturbation of the OH stretching vibration to lower frequencies and an increase of the infrared intensity of this vibration up to three times upon hydrogen bonding.

Vibrational spectroscopy investigation using ab initio and density functional theory analysis on the structure of 3-(6-benzoyl-2-oxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2H)-yl)propanoic acid

The molecular structure, vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities of the 3-(6-benzoyl-2-oxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2H)-yl)propanoic acid were calculated by the HF and DFT methods using 6-31G(d) basis set. The FT-infrared spectra have been measured for the title compound in the solid state. We obtained 11 stable conformers for the title compound, however the Conformer 1 is approximately 3.88 kcal/mol more stable than the Conformer 11. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental geometry of the title compound shows that the X-ray parameters fairly well reproduce the geometry of the Conformer 1. The harmonic vibrations computed of this compound by the B3LYP/6-31G(d) method are in a good agreement with the observed IR spectral data. Theoretical vibrational spectra of the title compound were interpreted by means of PEDs using VEDA 4 program.     

Substituent effects on structural stability of formyl ketene and analysis of vibrational spectra of formyl haloketenes and formyl methylketene.

The conformational behavior and the structural stability of formyl fluoroketene, formyl chloroketene and formyl methylketene were investigated by utilizing quantum mechanical DFT calculations at B3LYP/6-31I + + G** and ab initio calculations at MP2/6-311 + + G** levels. The three molecules were predicted to have a planar s-cis<-->s-trans conformational equilibrium. From the calculations, the direction of the conformational equilibrium was found to be dependent on the nature of the substituting group. In formyl haloketenes, the cis conformation, where the C=O group eclipses the ketenic group, was expected to be of lower energy than the trans conformer. In the case of formyl methylketene the conformational stability was reversed and the trans form (the aldehydic hydrogen eclipsing the ketenic group) was calculated to be about 2 kcal mol(-1) lower in energy than the cis form. The calculated cis-trans energy barrier was found to be in the order: fluoride (15.3 kcal mol(-1)) > chloride (13.1 kcal mol(-1)) > methyl (11.7 kcal mol(-1). Full optimization was performed at the ground and the transition states of the molecules. The vibrational frequencies for the stable conformers of the three ketenic systems were computed at the DFT-B3LYP level, and the zero-point corrections were included into the calculated rotational barriers. Complete vibrational assignments were made on the basis of both normal coordinate calculations and comparison with experimental results of similar molecules.

FT-IR, FT-Raman spectra, density functional computations of the vibrational spectra and molecular geometry of butylated hydroxy toluene

The FT-IR spectrum of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol [butylated hydroxy toluene] was recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1). The FT-Raman spectrum of butylated hydroxy toluene was also recorded in the region 3500-50 cm(-1). The molecular structure and vibrational frequencies of butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) have been investigated with combined experimental and theoretical study. Two stable conformers of the title compound were obtained from the result of geometry optimizations of these possible conformers. The conformer 1 is (approximately 2.6 kcal/mol) more stable than conformer 2. Geometry optimizations and vibrational frequency calculations were performed by BLYP and B3LYP methods using 6-31G(d), 6-31G(d,p) and 6-31+G(d,p) as basis sets. The scaled frequencies were compared with experimental spectrum and on the basis of this comparison; assignments of fundamental vibrational modes were examined. Comparison of the experimental spectra with harmonic vibrational wavenumbers indicates that B3LYP/6-31G(d) results are more accurate. Predicted electronic absorption spectra of BHT from TD-DFT calculation have been analyzed and compared with the experimental UV-vis spectrum. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that the charge transfer occurs within the molecule.     

Spin�Corbit ab initio study of two low-lying states of chloroiodomethane cation

Spin?Corbit coupling plays a crucial role in the determination of molecular structure and calculation of vibrational frequencies of CH₂ClI⁺. We performed the geometry optimizations and vibrational frequency calculations of both the lower and upper spin?Corbit (SO) states using an ab initio SO method based on multiconfigurational wave function. The multistate complete active space perturbation theory second-order SO (MS-CASPT2-SO) method reasonably describes the structures of the lower SO state, yielding the C?CI distance and the I?CC?CCl angle close to the experimental values. The geometrical parameters of the upper SO state is quite similar to that of the lower SO state, whereas structures of two states differ substantially in calculations prior to the introduction of SO coupling. The MS-CASPT2-SO method reproduces the difference between the lower and upper SO states for the I?CC?CCl bending frequency. The vibrational frequencies calculated by MS-CASPT2-SO generally overestimate in comparison with the experiments. The energy gap between the two SO states calculated by MS-CASPT2-SO is reasonably close to the experimental value. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to calculate vibrational frequencies of two SO states of CH₂ClI⁺, and the first time to apply MS-CASPT2-SO method to the geometry optimization and vibrational frequency calculation of polyatomic molecule.
