Abstract

Molecular structure and vibrational analysis of methyldalbergin (MDLBG) and dalbergin (DLBG) are presented using vibrational spectroscopy (infrared and Raman) and quantum chemical calculations. Difference in the OH stretching vibration wavenumber of two conformers of DLBG was observed as in one conformer this bond is making an intramolecular H-bond while in other it is free. The spectral calculations, ground state geometry and electronic structure calculations were performed based on the density functional theory (DFT) using the standard B3LYP/6–311++G(d,p) methodology. FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra were recorded in the solid phase, and interpreted in terms of potential energy distribution analysis. The UV–visible absorption spectrum was examined in DMSO solvent and compared with one calculated in gas phase as well as in solvent environment using TD-DFT/6-311G++(d,p) basis set. HOMO-LUMO energy gap results show chemical reactivity of conformers of DLBG and MDLBG.
