Abstract
A liquid–glass transition and a crystalline state of pharmaceutical racemic ketoprofen were studied by Raman scattering and the broadband terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the frequency range from 9 to 260cm−1. The low-frequency Raman scattering spectra clearly shows the remarkable change related to a liquid–glass transition at about Tg=267K. After melt-quenching at liquid nitrogen temperature, a boson peak appears at about 16.5cm−1 near and below Tg and the intensity of quasi-elastic scattering related to structural relaxation increases markedly on heating. The crystalline racemic ketoprofen of “conformer A” shows the noncoincidence effect of mode frequencies below 200cm−1 between Raman scattering spectra and dielectric spectra observed by THz-TDS.
