Synthesis and theoretical studies on the vibration of a novel (3,4-disfluoro)phenylquione

A novel (3,4-disfluoro)phenylquione (2F-PQ) was synthesized through the reaction of 3,4-Difluoroaniline and 1,4-benzoquinone. Its structure was verified by 1H NMR, FTIR and Raman spectra. The ground-state geometries were optimized by using density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-311G + (d,p), B3PW91/6-311G + (d,p) and MPB3PW91/6-311G + (d,p) level without symmetry constrains, respectively. The predicted FTIR and Raman spectra scaled by factor are well consistent with experimental spectra.
