Abstract:
Molecular structure of 2-[4-(4-Fluorobenzamido)phenyl]benzothiazole was determined by quantum chemical calculations. MidIR and FarIR spectra were recorded at room temperature, with 4 cm(-1) resolution in the 4000-400 cm(-1) and 700-30 cm(-1) regions, respectively for the first time. Raman spectrum was recorded in the 4000-100 cm(-1) range. Optimized molecular structure and vibrational wavenumbers of the compound in its ground state have been calculated by using Density Functional Theory using B3LYP functional with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Vibrational wavenumbers were seen to be in good agreement with the experimental IR data. Furthermore, assignments of each vibrational mode were interpreted in terms of potential energy distributions in detail.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
