Abstract
The infrared and Raman spectra of C60(OH)24 molecule with uniform and non-uniform distribution of hydroxyl groups have been investigated using first principle DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. The important features of the obtained geometries have been measured and compared to experimental results. The reference calculations of C60 molecule geometry and vibrational spectra have been made and compared to available experimental data. The striking differences of infrared spectra between C60(OH)24 molecule with uniform and non-uniform distribution of hydroxyl groups have been shown and discussed. The OH modes have been identified as the most sensitive to C60(OH)24 isomer configuration. The C–C stretching modes in the Raman spectra of the C60(OH)24 molecule have been found as a potential sensor of OH groups distribution over fullerene C60 surface.
