FT-IR and FT-Raman vibrational assignment of 2-bromobenzoic acid with the help of ab initio and DFT calculations.
The vibrational spectra of 2-bromobenzoic acid (2BBA) have been experimentally recorded (FT-IR and FT-Raman) and compared with the harmonic vibrational frequencies calculated at HF and B3LYP level of theories using 6-311+G(d,p) basis set with appropriate scaling factors. The XRD geometrical parameters show satisfactory agreement with the theoretical prediction at Hartree-Fock and B3LYP levels. The scaled vibrational frequencies at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) seem to coincide with the experimentally observed values with acceptable deviations. The theoretical spectrograms (IR and Raman) have been constructed and compared with the experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra.
