FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra, ab initio and density functional studies of 3,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol.
The Fourier transform Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectra of 3,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol were recorded in the solid phase. The equilibrium geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities and Raman scattering activities, depolarization ratios, reduced masses were calculated by HF and density functional B3LYP method with the 6-311 G** basis set. The scaled theoretical wavenumbers showed very good agreement with the experimental values. The thermodynamic functions of the title compound were also performed at HF/6-311G** and B3LYP/6-311G** levels of theory. A detailed interpretations of the infrared and Raman spectra of 3,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol is reported. The theoretical spectrograms for FT-IR spectra of the title molecule have been constructed.
