Abstract
Spectroscopic properties of quinoline-7-carboxaldehyde (Q7C) have been studied in detail both experimentally and theoretically. The FT-IR (4000–50cm−1), FT-Raman (4000–50cm−1), dispersive-Raman (3500–50cm−1), and UV–Vis (200–400nm) spectra of Q7C were recorded at room temperature (25°C). Geometry parameters, potential energy surface about CCH(O) bond, harmonic vibrational frequencies, IR and Raman intensities, UV–Vis spectrum, and thermodynamic characteristics (at 298.15K) of Q7C were computed at Hartree–Fock (HF) and density functional B3LYP levels employing the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Frontier molecular orbitals, molecular electrostatic potential, and Mulliken charge analyses of Q7C have also been performed. Q7C has two stable conformers that are energetically very close to each other with slight preference to the conformer that has oxygen atom of the aldehyde away from the nitrogen atom of the quinoline.
