Infrared and Raman spectra of 3,5-diamino-6-(o-C6H4X)-1,2,4-triazines [X = F,Cl, Br,CH3

Raman and infrared spectra of four substituted 3,5-diamino-6-(ortho-substituted phenyl)-1,2,4-triazines, having ortho-fluoro, -chloro, -bromo and -methyl groups on the phenyl ring, are reported and discussed. Bands due to substituent sensitive phenyl vibrations are observed in both the Raman and infrared spectra. The Raman spectra of all four compounds have strong bands near 770 and 1330 cm(-1) which are assigned to the ring breathing vibration of the 1,2,4-triazine ring and an asymmetric triazine C-NH2 stretching vibration, respectively. A medium/strong band near 800 cm(-1) in the infrared spectra is attributed to an out-of-plane bending vibration of the substituted 1,2,4-triazine ring.
