Abstract:
In this work, the vibrational spectral analysis was carried out by using Raman and infrared spectroscopy in the range 100-4,000 cm(-1) and 50-4,000 cm(-1), respectively, for the title molecules. The molecular structure, fundamental vibrational frequencies and intensity of the vibrational bands are interpreted with the aid of structure optimizations and normal coordinate force field calculations based on Hartee Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) method and different basis sets combination. The complete vibrational assignments of wavenumbers were made on the basis of potential energy distribution (PED). The scaled B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) results show the best agreement with the experimental values over the other methods. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within molecule. The influences of bromine atom and methyl group on the geometry of benzene and its normal modes of vibrations have also been discussed. The results of the calculations were applied to simulated spectra of the title compounds, which show excellent agreement with observed spectra.
