title: Experimental and quantum chemical study on the vibrational spectroscopy of N-methylphenothiazines: part 1.
abstract: In this work the authors deal with the vibrational spectroscopy of three derivatives of phenothiazine: the 10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine, the 10 methyl-10H-phenothiazine-3-carbaldehyde and the 10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine-3-yl-methanol. The authors investigated the vibrational spectroscopic behaviour of the phenothiazine skeleton and dealt with the aldehyde and the alcohol substituent effect on the vibrational spectroscopic and structural properties of these skeleton. The infrared and Raman spectra of the compounds have been recorded in condensed state. The Gaussian 98 program package was applied with the ab initio HF method since in this case beside the infrared also the Raman spectoroscopic properties appear in the output file. On the basis of the calculated force constants and geometric parameters, normal coordinate analysis was applied for the interpretation of the experimental vibrational spectra. Problems arose with the choice of the internal coordinates of the molecules. Full interpretations of the vibrational fundamentals of the compounds are presented. The relative mean deviations between the measured and calculated frequencies were below 1%.
