Abstract

Quantum chemistry calculations have been performed using Gaussian03 program to compute optimized geometry, harmonic vibrational frequency along with intensities in IR and Raman spectra and atomic charges at RHF/6-31+G*, B3LYP/6-31+G* and B3LYP/6-31++G* levels for 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT, C(7)H(5)NS(2)) and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (MBO, C(7)H(5)NOS) in the ground state. The scaled harmonic vibrational frequencies have been compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The results show that the scaled theoretical vibrational frequencies is very good agreement with the experimental values. A detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole was reported. Comparison of calculated spectra with the experimental spectra provides important information about the ability of the computational method to describe the vibrational modes.
