title: Laser Raman and IR spectra and force fields for 2,4-dichlorobenzonitrile.
abstract: Raman spectrum of 2,4-dichlorobenzonitrile (2,4-DCBN) in powder form has been recorded in the region 50-4000 cm(-1) on a Jasco K-500 Raman spectrophotometer using the 488.0 nm radiation from an argon laser. FTIR spectra in the region 200-4000 cm(-1) have been recorded in KBr pellet and nujol mull on a Nicolet DX spectrometer. Using the observed Raman and IR frequencies, normal co-ordinate analysis has been carried out to support the vibrational analysis and to determine the planar and non-planar force fields.
