title: DFT studies and vibrational spectra of isoquinoline and 8-hydroxyquinoline.
abstract: The geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of isoquinoline (IQ) and 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) were obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations with the B3LYP functional and 6-31 G* basis set. The vibrational spectral data obtained from the solid phase mid and far FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of IQ and 8-HQ are assigned based on the results of the normal coordinate calculations. The observed and the calculated spectra are found to be in good agreement.
