Synthesis, FT-IR, FT-Raman, dispersive Raman and NMR spectroscopic study of a host molecule which potential applications in sensor devices

The solid phase FT-IR, FT-Raman and dispersive Raman spectra of the host molecule which potential applications in sensor devices have been recorded in the region 400–4000 and 50–3500 cm−1, respectively. The spectra were interpreted in terms of fundamentals modes, combination and overtone bands. The structure of the molecule was optimized and the structural characteristics were determined by density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP method with 6-31G(d) basis set. The vibrational frequencies were calculated for the studied molecule by DFT method, and compared with the experimental frequencies, which yield good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies. Finally the calculation results were applied to simulate infrared and Raman spectra of the compound. Obtained these spectra also showed good agreement with observed spectra. The dipole moment, linear polarizability and first hyperpolarizability values were also computed. The linear polarizability and first hyperpolarizability of the studied molecule indicate that the compound is a good candidate of nonlinear optical materials.
