Spectroscopic Investigation and Vibrational Analysis of Paraldehyde by FTIR and Laser Raman Techniques

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: AMract: Paraldehyde is a trimer of acetaldehyde fonned from this under acid catalysis.It falls under the broad classification of the sedative hypnotics used as anti-convulsant in eplcpticus and tetanus.The work presents vibrational band analysis on the molecular structure of the compound paraldehyde through infrared and Raman spectral measurements.Nonnal coordinate analysis has been carried out with a new set of symmetry ctHirdmates to obtain the molecular force field of the system based on C^\ point group symmetry.Potential energy distribution evaluated for all the nonnal modes of vibration, confirm that the chosen set of vibrational frequencies contribute maximum to the potential energy associated with the nomial coordinates of the molecule.
