AbstractThe geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of 8-hydroxyquinoline and its 5,7-dichloro, 5,7-dibromo, 5,7-diiodo and 5,7-dinitro derivatives were obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations with Becke3-Lee-Parr (B3LYP) functional and 6-31G* basis set. The effects of chloride, bromide, iodide and nitro substituent on the vibrational frequencies of 8-hydroxyquinoline have been investigated. The assignments have been proposed with aid of the results of normal coordinate analysis. The observed and calculated spectra are found to be in good agreement.

Indium-doped cadmium oxide nanocrystals are examined using experimental and theoretical techniques. Raman, UV–Vis, and XRD facilities are used to examine Indium-doped CdO nanostructures with three doping ratios 2%, 4% and 6% weight percentages. Density functional theory (DFT) is used to check and compare lattice constants, energy gaps, and Raman vibrational properties. The presently suggested cages for the cubic rock-salt structured clusters adopted by CdO are called cuboids. These cuboids are investigated in bare, and hydrogen surface passivated cases. Experimental results of In-doped CdO show an increase of lattice constants and energy gap. The same trend is observed using density functional theory calculations. The experimental longitudinal optical Raman peak at 556[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] encounters blue shifting to 561.5 [Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] at 6% weight percentages In doping. This result is in the same trend using DFT calculations of In-doped CdO hydrogen passivated tetracuboid molecular cluster that shifted from 510.2[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] to 531.3[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] upon In doping. No Burstein–Moss effect is observed by the theoretical model.
