In this work, the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectra of 2-aminobiphenyl (2ABP) were recorded in the solid phase. The optimised geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of 2ABP were obtained by the density functional theory (BLYP and B3LYP) methods with complete relaxation in the potential energy surface using 6-31G(d) basis set. The harmonic vibrational frequencies were calculated and the scaled values have been compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The observed and the calculated frequencies are found to be in good agreement. The experimental spectra also coincide satisfactorily with those of theoretically constructed spectrograms.

Quantum mechanical calculations of energies, geometries and vibrational wavenumbers of 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (2,4DA6HP) were carried out by using ab initio HF and density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method using 6-311G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometrical parameters obtained by B3LYP method show good agreement with experimental X-ray data. The best level of theory in order to reproduce the experimental wavenumbers is B3LYP method with the 6-311G(d,p) basis set. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumber values of most of the fundamentals is very small. A detailed interpretation of the infrared spectra of 2,4DA6HP was also reported. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs in the molecule. The entropy of the title compound is also performed at HF/6-311G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) levels of theory. The theoretical spectrograms for FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of the title molecule have been constructed.

The gas phase infrared spectrum of 3-aminoacetophenone (3AAP) was measured in the range 5000-500 cm(-1) and with a resolution of 0.5 cm(-1). The Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of 3AAP were recorded in the solid phase. Geometry optimizations were done without any constraint and several thermodynamic parameters were calculated for the minimum energy conformer at ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) levels invoking 6-311G(2df 2p) basis set and the results are compared with the experimental values. Harmonic-vibrational wavenumber was also calculated for the minimum energy conformer at ab initio and DFT levels using 6-31G(d,p) basis set and the results are compared with related molecules. With the help of specific scaling procedures, the observed vibrational wavenumbers in gas phase, FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra were analyzed and assigned to different normal modes of the molecule. Most of the modes have wavenumbers in the expected range, the error obtained was in general very low. The appropriate theoretical spectrogram for the FT-IR spectra of the title molecule is also constructed.
