The i.r. spectra of benzotriazole have been measured from 4000 to 60 cm-1: polarized spectra of single crystals have been also obtained. The Raman spectra of polycrystalline samples and solutions have been investigated. The structural parameters and vibrational frequencies have been detennined from ab-inirio Hartree-Fock gradient calculations using the 6-31G* basis set. A detailed assignment of most of the observed bands has been proposed on the basis of the i.r. dichroism, Raman polarization data and frequency calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
