Title: FT-IR and FT-Raman spectral investigation, computed IR intensity and Raman activity analysis and frequency estimation analysis on 4-chloro-2-bromoacetophenone using HF and DFT calculations. Author: Ramalingam S, Anbusrinivasan P, Periandy S. Journal: Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc; 2011 Feb; 78(2):826-34. PubMed ID: 21216662. Abstract: In this work, the experimental and theoretical spectra of 4-chloro-2-bromoacetophenone (4C2BAP) are studied. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of title molecule have been recorded in the region 4000-100 cm(-1). The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state have been calculated by using Hartree-Fock and density functional method (B3LYP) with the 6-31G (d, p) and 6-311G (d, p) basis sets. The vibrational frequencies are calculated and scaled values are compared with the experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The DFT (B3LYP/6-311G (d, p)) calculations are more reliable than the ab initio HF/6-311G (d, p) calculations for the vibrational study of 4C2BAP. The optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) are compared with experimental values of the molecule. The alteration of vibrational bands of the carbonyl and acetyl groups due to the presence of halogens (Cl and Br) in the base molecule is also investigated from their characteristic region of linked spectrum.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
