Matrix isolation FT-IR and theoretical DFT/B3LYP spectrum of 1-Naphthol KU Leuven
The FT-IR spectrum of 1-Naphthol isolated in an argon matrix is performed and compared to the infrared spectra calculated at the DFT (B3LYP)/6-31+G(d) level for cis-1-Naphthol and trans-1-Naphthol rotamers in order to clarify the existence of both rotamers in the standard temperature. Comparison of the computed and the experimental matrix spectra reveals the presence in 1-Naphthol argon matrices in the standard temperature of both cis and trans ...
