The possible conformations in the most stable structure of cyclophosphamide were investigated at the DFT-B3LYP and MP2/6-311G** levels of calculation. The axial structure is calculated to be lower in energy than the equatorial form of cyclophosphamide by 5 (MP2) to 6 (DFT) kcal mol-1 because of a very weak anomeric effect and weak conjugation. Further it is the same structure as the one found in the X-ray investigations both of the hydrate and of the anhydrous form. The computed DFT vibrational frequencies of the axial structure were used to analyze the infrared and Raman spectra using normal-coordinate calculations to provide reliable assignments to the normal modes of the molecule.

A redetermination of the crystal and molecular structure of the chain-like molecule S(NSO)2 resulted in the following molecular parameters: d(SO) = 146.5(2), d(S = N) = 153.4(2), d(S-N) = 165.7(2) pm, bond angles OSN = 117.5(1)°, SNS = 123.6(2)°, and NSN = 97.2(1)°, torsion angles OSNS = -0.3(2)°, and SNSN = -177.7(2)° (molecular symmetry C2). Infrared and Raman spectra of S(NSO)2 are reported and assigned; there is no evidence for conformational changes on dissolution of crystalline S(NSO)2

The infrared and Raman spectra of M2[V2O2(O2)4(H2O)]·xH2O and M2[V2O2(O2)4(D2O)]·xD2O (M = N(CH3)4, Cs) were measured. In the region of the vanadium-oxygen stretching vibrations, the spectra were interpreted based on normal coordinate analysis, employing empirical correlations between the bond lengths and force constants.

A stoichiometric complex of formula (COOH)2•2H2O•18-crown-6 has been obtained from oxalic acid and the macrocyclic polyether 18-crown-6. The crystals of the complex have a monoclinic unit cell and belong to the P21/c space group. The components in the adduct are linked through hydrogen bonds in a polymer-like fashion: -crown–H2O–HOOCCOOH–OH2–crown–, where the oxalic acid molecules are present in two distinct disordered orientations. The infrared and Raman spectra of the complex are also reported and interpreted.

Infrared and Raman spectra for (K+) (CF3BF3−) have been obtained from 4000 to 50 cm−1. Spectral assignments were made on the basis of C3v symmetry using both 10B and 11B compounds. In addition, a normal coordinate analysis was performed to obtain the potential energy distribution of the normal modes. A Urey-Bradley type force field was used, and force constants obtained for the CF3 and BF3 groupings were compared to those in C2F6 and BF4−.

ABSTRACTThe normal modes of vibration and their frequencies are calculated for benitoite, a mineral whose crystal structure (space group D23h) consists of three-membered silicate rings (Si3O9) linked by Ba+2 and Ti+4 ions. The calculation unambiguously assigns the normal modes to the lines in the Raman and infrared spectra and determines the atomic interactions. On the assumption that mode mixings and splittings due to inter-ring interactions are small, the normal frequencies of the isolated ring of C3h, symmetry are determined. The identification of normal modes characteristic of three-membered silicate rings may prove to be a valuable guide in the interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of amorphous silicates, potentially leading to new information on the ring statistics of these materials.

AbstractThe homocyclic S11 and S13 molecules have been synthesized from titanocenepentasulfide and S6Cl2 or S8Cl2, respectively, and obtained as yellow crystals which are metastable for several days at 20 °C. X-Ray structural analyses of single crystals at -105± 5 °C exhibited molecules of approximately C2 symmetry with bond distances (d), bond angles (a) and torsional angles (r) in the following ranges: S11 : d = 203.2 -211.0 pm, α = 103.3-108.6°, τ = 69.3 - 140.5°; S13: d = 197.8 - 211.3 pm, α = 102.8-111.1°, τ = 29.5 - 116.3°. Infrared and Raman spectra of S11 and S13 are reported. In addition, the synthesis of S6Cl2 and S8Cl2 from S6 or S8, respectively, and chlorine is described.

The infrared and Raman spectra of triphenyl compounds of Group VA elements PPh3, AsPh3, SbPh3, and BiPh3 (Ph represents the phenyl group), have been reported in the 530–100 cm−1 region. The metal-phenyl stretching and bending vibrations have been assigned with the aid of approximate normal coordinate analysis and depolarization ratios of Raman lines.

A study of the polarized infrared and Raman spectra of acenaphthylene single crystals has been made. These results, together with Gordon and Yang's preliminary X-ray work, suggest that the molecules pack in some disordered arrangement in the solid at room temperature. Most of the A1 fundamentals were identified in the Raman solution spectrum from their low depolarization ratio, and a few tentative assignments of nontotally symmetric fundamentals were made.
