Abstract: | The ab initio-based, scaled quantum-mechanical molecular force field (SQM-FF) analysis of the vibrational spectra of the s-trans and s-gauche conformers of 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene (isoprene), reported previously at the HF/6-31G//HF/6-31G computational level Bock,
et al. J Mol Struct 160: 337, 1987], has been updated in this article using a more complete set of experimental data on the
s-gauche conformer along with revised results for the s-trans conformer obtained in the gas phase, in a low-temperature matrix, and in neat crystals. Geometrical parameters and the calculated
wavenumbers derived from the SQM-FF at the MP2(FC)/aug-cc-pVDZ//MP2(FC)/aug-cc-pVDZ level are compared to experiment. The
analyses performed are consistent with the presence of a twisted high-energy s-gauche conformer of isoprene. |
