Some physical organic aspects of salicylaldehydes oximes, a theoretical study

Molecular structures of two oximes derived from salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde were studied using the B3LYP functional and the basis set 6-31G(d). This study discusses the electron/proton localization in the two oximes qualitatively based on the calculated infrared frequencies, two types of atomic charges, and the aromaticity index HOMA.
