Identification of Structural and Spectral Features of 2-Amino 4-Chlorobenzoic Acid and 4-Amino 2-Chlorobenzoic Acid: A Comparative Experimental and DFT Study

Abstract

The structure and spectroscopic data of the molecules in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory employing B3LYP/6‐311++G(d,p) basis set. The dipol moment, linear polarizability and first hyperpolarizability values were also computed using the same basis set. A study on the electronic properties, such as HOMO-LUMO energies, were performed by time-dependent density functional theory approach. A detailed description of spectroscopic behaviour of compounds was given based on the comparison of experimental data and theoretical computations.
