PG - 14-25 LID - S1386-1425(12)01128-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.saa.2012.11.032 [doi] AB - The FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde oxime (NFAO) have been recorded in the regions 4000-400 cm(-1) and 3500-50 cm(-1), respectively. The total energies of different conformations have been obtained from DFT (B3LYP) with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set calculations. The computational results identify the most stable conformer of NFAO as the C1 form. Utilizing the observed FTIR and FT-Raman data, a complete vibrational assignment and analysis of the fundamental modes of the compound were carried out. The optimum molecular geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities and Raman scattering activities, were calculated by density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-31+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumber values of most of the fundamentals is very small. A detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of NFAO is also reported based on total energy distribution (TED). Stability of the molecule arising from hyperconjugative interactions, charge delocalization have been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), HOMO and LUMO analysis, and several thermodynamic properties were performed by the DFT method. Mulliken's net charges have been calculated and compared with the natural atomic charges. Ultraviolet-visible spectrum of the title molecule has also been calculated using TD-DFT method.
