Molecular structure and vibrational raman and infrared spectra of bromochlorofluoromethane and its silicon and germanium analogs: quantum-mechanical DFT and MP2 calculations.
DFT(B3LYP) and MP2 calculations with the 6-311G(2d, 2p)-type basis set have been carried out for the prediction of molecular parameters (bond distances, bond angles, rotational constants, and dipole moments) and vibrational Raman and infrared spectra (harmonic wavenumbers, absolute intensities, Raman scattering activities, and depolarization ratios) of bromochlorofluoromethane (HCBrCIF) and its silicon and germanium analogs (HSiBrClF and HGeBrCIF). The predicted geometry and vibrational Raman and infrared spectra of HCBrClF agree well with the available experimental data for this molecule and their deuterated derivatives. This agreement allows one to believe that the predicted molecular parameters and vibrational spectra of HSiBrClF, HGeBrClF, and their deuterated derivatives will guide their future experimental studies.
