  • Title: FT-IR spectroscopy combined with DFT calculation to explore solvent effects of vinyl acetate.
    Author: Chen Y, Zhang H, Liu Q.
    Journal: Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc; 2014 May 21; 126():122-8. PubMed ID: 24607466.
    Abstract:
    The infrared vibration frequencies of vinyl acetate (VAc) in 18 different solvents were theoretically computed at Density Function Theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-311G(*) level based on Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) and experimentally recorded by FT-IR spectroscopy. The solvent-induced long-range bulk electrostatic solvation free energies of VAc (ΔGelec) were calculated by the SMD model. The C=O stretching vibration frequencies of VAc were utilized as a measure of the chemical reactivities of the CC group in VAc. The calculated and experimental C=O stretching vibration frequencies of VAc (νcal(C=O) and νexp(C=O)) were correlated with empirical solvent parameters including the KBM equation, the Swain equation and the linear solvation energy relationships (LSER). Through ab initio calculation, assignments of the two C=O absorption bands of VAc in alcohol solvents were achieved. The PCM, SMD and ab initio calculation offered supporting evidence to explain the FT-IR experimental observations from differing aspects.
