Abstract
Structural and vibrational properties of the C O stretching bond of cholesteryl acetate and related steroids are investigated theoretically and by Micro-Raman spectroscopy. In this work, an analysis of the C O stretching mode for the cholesteryl acetate is presented. Experimental results in crystalline, isotropic liquid and liquid crystal phases are compared with quantum chemical calculations using semi empirical hamiltonians (AM1 and PM3) and the density functional theory. The calculations were performed on isolated molecules with different conformations as found on previous investigations giving strong evidence of their existence. Calculated frequencies are found to be very close to experiments and suggest the possible existence of the predicted conformers.
