Abstract:
In this work, the vibrational spectral analysis is carried out by using Raman and infrared spectroscopy in the range 100-4000 cm(-1)and 50-4000 cm(-1), respectively, for pycolinaldehyde oxime (PAO) (C6H6N2O) molecule. The vibrational frequencies have been calculated and scaled values are compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The structure optimizations and normal coordinate force field calculations are based on HF and B3LYP methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The results of the calculation shows excellent agreement between experimental and calculated frequencies in B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometric parameters are compared with experimental values of PAO. The non linear optical properties, NBO analysis, thermodynamics properties and mulliken charges of the title molecule are also calculated and interpreted. A study on the electronic properties, such as HOMO and LUMO energies, are performed by time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach. Besides, frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) are performed. The effects due to the substitutions of CH=NOH ring are investigated. The (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts of the molecule are calculated by the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method and compared with experimental results.
