Calculation of anharmonic intensities in the Vibrational Raman Spectrum and a Full Interpretation of the Vibrational spectrum of trans-1,3-butadiene

Abstract

An anharmonic model of vibrations of a polyatomic molecule allows, using second-order perturbation theory, a detailed interpretation of vibrational spectra with resonances taken into account and the calculation of intensities of spectral bands of fundamentals, overtones and combination bands. For molecules possessing a center of symmetry (for example, trans-1,3-butadiene), some vibrations have zero intensity in the infrared spectrum due to the principle of mutual exclusion. For a rigorous analysis of such molecules it is necessary to measure Raman spectra and to have a corresponding theoretical model for calculation of anharmonic intensities. In this work it is shown that perturbation theory (PT) in the form of contact transformations (CT) is applicable for calculations of anharmonic intensities in Raman spectra. The Fortran computer program ANCO has been developed that allows calculation of vibrational frequencies and infrared/Raman-intensities of fundamental vibrations, overtones and combination bands on the basis of second-order PT in the form of CT with polynomial representations of potential energy, dipole moments and polarizability surfaces. With Using those properties, calculated by the B3LYP/6–31+G(d,p) method, frequencies and forms of anharmonic vibrations have been obtained, and the interpretation of the experimental spectrum of trans-1,3-butadiene molecule has been given, as an example. The method of calculation of scale factors of anharmonic force field was proposed. It has been shown, that in the framework of anharmonic model these factors are close to unity.
