Normal coordinate analysis has been carried out to support the vibrational analysis. The results were compared with the experimental values. With the help of scaling procedures, the observed FTIR and FT Raman vibrational frequencies were analysed and compared with the theoretically predicted vibrational spectra. The assignments of bands to various normal modes of the molecules were also carried out.     

Density functional theory study of the fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra of dichloro-bis(2,4-pentanedionate)tin(IV).

Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra of dichloro-bis(2,4-pentanedionate)tin(IV) have been obtained. Density functional theory (DFT) BLYP calculations, have been carried out with the purpose of understanding the metal-ligand region spectra of this compound. Vibrational wavenumbers calculated by BLYP/6-31G* force fields are closed with the experimental results. The percentage of deviation of the bond lengths and bond angles gives a good picture of the normal modes, and serves as a basis for the assignment of the wavenumbers. The calculated geometrical parameters show slight differences compared with the experimental ones, and these differences can be explained by the different physical state of Sn(acac)2Cl2. The DFT-BLYP calculations assumed a free molecule in the gas phase. The experimental wavenumbers are obtained from the spectra of solid samples.     

Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra of N-di-isopropylphosphorylguanidine (DPG)

The Fourier transform infrared and the Fourier transform Raman spectra of N-di-isopropylphosphorylguanidine (DPG) in the solid state and in aqueous solution were recorded and analyzed. Assuming Cs symmetry for different structural fragment of the molecule, the experimental and calculated band assignments of the nu(NH), delta(HNH), delta(CNH), nu(C=N), nu(PN), nu(CN), nu(PO) and nu(OC) normal modes suggested that the DPG exists as a tautomeric contribution of the phosphorylamine (I) and N-phosphorylimine (II) structural forms.

Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra, vibrational assignment and density functional theory calculations of naphthazarin

FT Raman and FTIR spectra of Naphthazarin (5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) and its deuterated analogue are recorded. Comparison between the spectra obtained by two techniques, a series of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and the spectral behavior upon deuteration were used for the assignment of the vibrational spectra of this compound. The calculated vibrational frequencies by the B3LYP, B3PW91, G96LYP, G96P86, and MPWLYP density functionals are generally consistent with the observed spectra. Infrared and Raman vibrational transitions predicted by B3LYP/6-311++G** are reported for the titled compound and its deuterated analogous and the assignments are discussed. All experimental and theoretical results support a relatively weak hydrogen bond in naphthazarin (NZ), compared with that in the enol form of normal beta-diketones. The observed nuOH/nuOD and gammaOH/gammaOD appear at about 3060/2220 and 790/560 cm(-1), respectively, which are consistent with the calculated hydrogen bond geometry and proton chemical shift results. Two bands at about 350 and 290 cm(-1) are assigned to the O...O stretching modes belong to A1 and B2 species, respectively.     

Fourier transform Raman and infrared and surface-enhanced Raman spectra for rhodamine 6G

The vibrational spectra of rhodamine 6G (R6G) are discussed on the basis of Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra obtained far from resonance which are compared with resonance Raman and surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectra obtained with excitation at 457.9 nm. The behaviour of several bands is described and tentative assignments are proposed. Stong resonance Raman effects are observed for bands assignable to xanthene ring stretching modes and also xanthene ring deformation modes. Some of these are sensitive to the complexing of R6G with silver colloids.     

Structural analysis and Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra of dibutoxyphosphoryl benzylisothiourea

A structural analysis for dibutoxyphosphoryl benzylisothiourea (DBBT) was carried out by mass spectrometry, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra of liquid of DBBT were carried out with the purpose of studying the tautomerism (structures I and II) and the behavior of the more polar absorption's bands in different solvents, i.e., absorption's of the P=O and C=N bands. The results suggest the existence of tautomerism in the pure (liquid) compound and in solution of CHCl(3), CH(2)Cl(2), CHBr(3), and THF, C(2)H(4)Cl(2) and C(2)H(4)Br(2). The solvent interaction with the P=O band was characterized by the presence of a new band in the region of the O-H absorption. A vibrational assignment of the IR bands and Raman shifts was done and is proposed in this paper.     

Density functional theory studies on tautomeric stability and infrared and Raman spectra of some purine derivatives

The molecular vibrations of 6-hydroxy-purine (6HP) and 6-amino-purine (6AP) were investigated in polycrystalline sample, at room temperature by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and FT-Raman spectroscopy. The spectra of the above compounds have been recorded in the region 4000-50, 3500-100 cm(-1), respectively. They were interpreted with the aid of normal coordinate analysis following full structure optimization and force field calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) using HF/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-311+G** methods and basis set combinations. The results of the calculations were applied to simulated infrared and Raman spectra of the title compounds, which showed excellent agreement with the observed spectra. The dipole moment and the tautometric stability of purine derivatives were also studied.

Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra, and AB initio calculations for cadmium(II)-cysteinate glycinate complex [Cd(Cys)(Gly)

The cysteinate glycinate cadmium(II) complex was synthesized and structural analysis was carried out using the following methods: determination of the C, H, N, S and O contents, thermogravimetry, infrared and Raman spectra. The most probable structure for the complex at a minimum of energy was calculated by the density functional theory (DFT):B3LYP/3-21G quantum mechanical method. The infrared and Raman spectra were analyzed and bands assigned through the DFT procedures, the stabilization energy being equal to: E(RB+HF-LYP)= -6442.67784a.u. Features of the infrared and Raman spectra confirm theoretical structural prediction with respect to the metal-ligand bonds: Cd-O, Cd-S and Cd-N. Full assignment of the vibrational spectra was also supported by a carefully analysis of the distorted geometries generated by the normal modes.     

Fourier transform infrared matrix and density functional theory study of the vibrational spectrum of the linear MgC3(-) anion

The linear MgC(3)(-) anion has been identified in the products from the dual Nd:YAG laser ablation of carbon and magnesium rods trapped in solid Ar at ～12 K. Measurements of (13)C isotopic shifts confirm the identification of the ν(1)(σ) vibrational fundamental at 1797.5 cm(-1). A second fundamental ν(2)(σ) has been tentatively identified at 1190.1 cm(-1). The results are in good agreement with the predictions of density functional theory calculations using the B3LYP functional with the 6-311+G(d) basis set. This is the first optical detection of the linear isomer of MgC(3)(-).     

The Fourier transform Raman spectra of a series of platinum(II), palladium(II) and gold(III) square-planar complexes

The Fourier transform Raman spectra of solid samples and some D₂O solutions, of complexes of formula K_nMX₄, M = Pt(II), Pd(II), and Au(III); X = Cl and Br are reported. It was found that the spectra of the tetrabromides contain more bands than the corresponding tetrachlorides; this indication that the two halides have different crystal structures is discussed. Fourier transform Raman spectra of M(NH₃)₄Cl₂ M = Pt(II), and Pd(II), trans- and cis-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂ (i.e. the pharmaceutical product “cis-platin”), and trans-Pd(NH₃)₂X₂, X = Cl and Br are also reported here and the significance of the spectra discussed. Although many of these spectra have been reported earlier the quality of the new Fourier transform data is superior to that in the literature.     

Fourier transform infrared emission spectra of MgH and MgD

High resolution Fourier transform infrared emission spectra of MgH and MgD have been recorded. The molecules were generated in an emission source that combines an electrical discharge with a high temperature furnace. Several vibration-rotation bands were observed for all six isotopomers in the X (2)Sigma(+) ground electronic state: v=1-->0 to 4-->3 for (24)MgH, v=1-->0 to 3-->2 for (25)MgH and (26)MgH, v=1-->0 to 5-->4 for (24)MgD, v=1-->0 to 4-->3 for (25)MgD and (26)MgD. The new data were combined with the previous ground state data, obtained from diode laser vibration-rotation measurements and pure rotation spectra, and spectroscopic constants were determined for the v=0 to 4 levels of (24)MgH and the v=0 to 5 levels of (24)MgD. In addition, Dunham constants and Born-Oppenheimer breakdown correction parameters were obtained in a combined fit of the six isotopomers. The equilibrium vibrational constants (omega(e)) for (24)MgH and (24)MgD were found to be 1492.776(7) cm(-1) and 1077.298(5) cm(-1), respectively, while the equilibrium rotational constants (B(e)) are 5.825 523(8) cm(-1) and 3.034 344(4) cm(-1). The associated equilibrium bond distances (r(e)) were determined to be 1.729 721(1) A for (24)MgH and 1.729 157(1) A for (24)MgD.     

Fourier transform Raman and IR spectra of snake skin

The Fourier transform (FT) Raman and IR spectra of the shed dorsal skin of the snake Elaphe obsoleta (American black rat snake) are reported. Vibrational spectroscopic assignments are proposed for the first time. Although good quality Raman spectra were obtained from the hinge regions using an FT Raman microscope, the dorsal scale regions fluoresced even with 1064 nm IR excitation. This was ascribed to pigmentation markings on the scales.     

Density functional theory studies on the Raman and IR spectra of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin diacid

The vibrational spectra of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin diacid (H4TPP2+) have been studied with the density functional theory. Raman and IR spectra of H4TPP2+ and its N-deuterated analogue (D4TPP2+) are measured and compared with the computational results. Complete assignments of observed IR and Raman bands were proposed on the bases of calculation results. The DFT calculations reproduce 140 observed fundamentals with the RMS 8.6 cm-1. The computational as well as the experimental results reveal that the saddle-distortion of porphyrin macrocycle for the diacid leads to a significant effect on its vibrational spectra. Especially, several out-of-plane skeletal modes, which were either unobserved or very weak in the Raman spectra of CuTPP and H2TPP, are activated in the Raman spectra of the diacids. In addition, enhancement for the Raman bands of phenyl CC stretching modes were observed and attributed to the conjugation effect of pi-systems of the phenyl and the porphyrinato macrocycles.     

Fourier transform Raman and infrared spectra and normal coordinate analysis of organo-arsenic(III), -antimony(III) and -bismuth(III) thiolates

The FT-Raman and infrared spectra of (PhS)BiPh2, (PhS)2BiPh, (PhS)3Sb, (PhS)3Sb, (PhS)3As and (PhSe)BiPh2 were measured in the range 3600-100 cm(-1). A normal coordinate analysis was performed for all substances in terms of the calculation and discussion of the force constants which are dependent on the element-sulphur and element-selenium group using a modified valence force field. Furthermore, for all compounds 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS data were also given. The investigation of the microbiological activity of some substances against Escherichia coli was an additional aspect because of their strong bactericidal and fungicidal effects.     

The Fourier Transform Raman and infrared spectra of naphthazarin

The FT Raman spectra of the three naphthazarin polymorphs have been recorded for the first time and compared with the FTIR spectra of the polymorphs and of naphthazarin with deuterated hydroxyl groups. It is possible to distinguish between the polymorphs, to deduce that the room temperature static symmetry point group of naphthazarin is C_2v, to assign the ν(CH), σ(OH), γ(OH) vibrations and to confirm the absence of the ν(OH) mode.     

CCSD(T) study of dimethyl-ether infrared and Raman spectra

CCSD(T) state-of-the-art ab initio calculations are used to determine a vibrationally corrected three-dimensional potential energy surface of dimethyl-ether depending on the two methyl torsions and the COC bending angle. The surface is employed to obtain variationally the lowest vibrational energies that can be populated at very low temperatures. The interactions between the bending and the torsional coordinates are responsible for the displacements of the torsional overtone bands and several combination bands. The effect of these interactions on the potential parameters is analyzed. Second order perturbation theory is used as a help for the understanding of many spectroscopic parameters and to obtain anharmonic fundamentals for the 3N - 9 neglected modes as well as the rotational parameters. To evaluate the surface accuracy and to verify previous assignments, the calculated vibrational levels are compared with experimental data corresponding to the most abundant isotopologue. The surface has been empirically adjusted for understanding the origin of small divergences between ab initio calculations and experimental data. Our calculations confirm previous assignments and show the importance of including the COC bending degree of freedom for computing with a higher accuracy the excited torsional term values through the Fermi interaction. Besides, this work shows a possible lack of accuracy of some available experimental transition frequencies and proposes a new assignment for a transition line. As an example, the transition 100 → 120 has been computed at 445.93 cm(-1), which is consistent with the observed transition frequency in the Raman spectrum at 450.5 cm(-1).     

Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectral investigations of 5-aminoindole

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman (FT-Raman) spectra of 5-aminoindole has been recorded and analysed. The FT-IR spectrum of the compound was recorded in a BrukerIFS 66 V spectrometer in the range 4000-400 cm(-1) and the FT-Raman spectrum was also recorded in the same instrument in the region 3500-100 cm(-1). Observed frequencies for normal modes are compared with those calculated form normal co-ordinate analysis. The shift in the frequencies of the fundamental modes with the substituent amino group and the mixing of different normal modes are discussed with the help of potential energy distribution (PED) calculated through normal co-ordinate analysis.
