Vibrational spectra of partially oriented molecules having two conformers in nematic and isotropic solutions: furfural and 2-chlorobenzaldehyde.

TL;DR: Vibrational analysis of the two conformers of furfural and 2-chlorobenzaldehyde has been carried out on the basis of their IR and Raman spectra measured in isotropic and anisotropic solvent to determine the average orientation of the individual conformers in the nematic solvent.

Quantum mechanical study and spectroscopic (FT-IR, FT-Raman, 13C, 1H) study, first order hyperpolarizability, NBO analysis, HOMO and LUMO analysis of 2-acetoxybenzoic acid by density functional methods

TL;DR: Stability of the molecule arising from hyperconjugation and charge delocalization is confirmed by the natural bond orbital analysis (NBO) and electron density in the σ(∗) antibonding orbitals and E(2) energies confirms the occurrence of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) within the molecule.

Normal Coordinates: General Theory, Redundant Coordinates, and General Analysis Using Electronic Computers

TL;DR: A system of doing normal coordinate analysis is described which is better suited for use with electronic computers than are current methods and the advantage of using linear potential constants in strained and constrained systems is retained.

A new damped least-squares method for the calculation of molecular force fields

TL;DR: In this article, a modified Gauss method for the calculation of molecular force fields from spectroscopic data is presented, which is capable of overcoming many of the frequently occurring convergence problems in least-squares force field optimization.

Calculation of inertia defect: Part IV. Ethylene-type molecules

TL;DR: In this paper, the Coriolis coupling constants and the contributions to the inertia defect from individual vibrational modes are evaluated by using the force constants and fundamental frequencies taken from the literature.
