    Abstract:
    Fourier-transform Raman and infrared spectra of 2-nitroanisole are recorded (4000-100 cm(-1)) and interpreted by comparison with respective theoretical spectra calculated using HF and DFT method. The geometrical parameters with C(S) symmetry, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared and Raman scattering intensities are determined using HF/6-311++G (d, p), B3LYP/6-311+G (d, p), B3LYP/6-311++G (d, p) and B3PW91/6-311++G (d, p) level of theories. A detailed vibrational spectral analysis has been carried out and assignments of the observed fundamental bands have been proposed on the basis of peak positions and relative intensities. The results of the calculations have been used to simulate IR and Raman spectra for the molecule that showed good agreement with the observed spectra. The SQM method, which implies multiple scaling of the DFT force fields has been shown superior to the uniform scaling approach. The vibrational frequencies and the infrared intensities of the C-H modes involved in back-donation and conjugation are also investigated.
