Abstract :
The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and FT-Raman of 3-nitro-p-toluic acid (NTA) have been recorded and analyzed. The equilibrium geometry, bonding features and harmonic vibrational frequencies have been investigated with the help of ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) methods. The assignments of the vibrational spectra have been carried out with the help of normal coordinate analysis (NCA) following the scaled quantum mechanical force field methodology (SQMFF). The optimized geometric bond lengths and bond angles obtained by computation show good agreement with experimental data of the relative compound. The computed dimer parameters also show good agreement with experimental data. The first hyperpolarizability (β0) of this noval molecular system and related properties (β, α0, and Δα) of NTA are calculated using B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method on the finite-field approach. Stability of the molecule arising from hyperconjugative interactions, charge delocalization have been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The results show that charge in electron density (ED) in the σ* and π* antibonding orbital and second order delocalization energies E(2) confirms the occurrence of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) within the molecule. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies also show that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. Finally the calculations results were applied to simulated infrared and Raman spectra of the title compound which show good agreement with observed spectra.
