Abstract:
The title compound, N,N'-di(2-methoxyphenyl)formamidine (DMPF) was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, FT-Raman, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray single crystal diffraction. The results show that the compound crystallizes in an orthorhombic system, with space group of Pbca and eight molecules in the unit cell. The unit cell parameters are: a=11.1118 (7)A, b=14.9878 (9)A and c=16.2851 (10)A. The molecular geometry, the normal mode frequencies and corresponding vibrational assignments of DMPF at the ground state were performed by HF and B3LYP methods with 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. It was observed that the bond lengths and angles in the molecule, obtained by X-ray at the level of theory, were in good agreement with those of the experiment. A detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of DMPF was reported. The (13)C NMR and (1)H NMR of DMPF have been calculated using HF and B3LYP methods with 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. Comparison between experimental and theoretical results showed that B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) method is able to provide more satisfactory results for predicting IR, Raman, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR properties.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
