Molecular conformational analysis, vibrational spectra and normal coordinate analysis of trans-1,2-bis(3,5-dimethoxy phenyl)-ethene based on density functional theory calculations.

The conformational behavior and structural stability of trans-1,2-bis(3,5-dimethoxy phenyl)-ethene (TDBE) were investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) method with the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set combination. The vibrational wavenumbers of TDBE were computed at DFT level and complete vibrational assignments were made on the basis of normal coordinate analysis calculations (NCA). The DFT force field transformed to natural internal coordinates was corrected by a well-established set of scale factors that were found to be transferable to the title compound.

Molecular structure, NBO analysis, electronic absorption and vibrational spectral analysis of 2-Hydroxy-4-Methoxybenzophenone: reassignment of fundamental modes.

Vibrational frequencies of 2-Hydroxy-4-Methoxybenzophenone (HMB) have been reassigned with the aid of normal coordinate analysis (NCA) following the scaled quantum mechanical force field (SQMFF) methodology. The conformational analyses were performed and the energies of the different possible conformers were determined. The geometry of different conformers of the compounds were optimized with B3LYP method using 6-311++G(d,p) basis set to characterize all stationary points as minima.

Density functional theory study, FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra and SQM force field calculation for vibrational analysis of 1, 3-Bis (hydroxymethyl) benzimidazolin-2-one.

FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 1, 3-Bis (hydroxymethyl) benzimidazolin-2-one were recorded and analyzed in the solid phase. The optimized molecular geometry and vibrational wavenumbers have also been calculated in optimized structure by using DFT method. Scaled quantum mechanical force fields have also been used to calculate potential energy distributions in order to make conspicuous vibrational assignments.
