title: IR, Raman and SERS spectra of disodium terephthalate.
abstract: The IR and Raman spectra of disodium terephthalate were recorded and analysed. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum was recorded in silver colloid. The vibrational wavenumber of the compound have been computed using the Hartree-Fock/6-31G* basis and compared with the experimental values. SERS studies suggest a flat orientation of the molecule at the metal surface.
