“…The third normal mode addressed in this part is mode 84 (in-plane bending vibration of C8-H34 bond in slight coupling with stretching vibrations of purine ring and N7-C10 bond), and the strong Raman band at 1215 cm −1 as well as the strong IR band at 1218 cm −1 are our assignments proposed for this mode; in the case of bare purine, the IR bands at 1228 and 1227 cm −1 [50,51] and the Raman band at 1234 cm −1 [52] are the corresponding fundamentals and indicate a red shift between 12 and 19 cm −1 . As clearly seen from and N7-C10 bonds), a ring stretching vibration of the purine moiety, is the fifth normal mode addressed in this part, and the strong Raman band at 1320 cm −1 is our assignment proposed for this mode; in the case of bare purine, the three bands at 1335, 1332 (IR) [50,51] and 1334 cm −1 (Raman) [52] are the corresponding fundamentals and indicate a red shift about 15 cm −1 arising from the substitution effect. A similar result has been obtained for mode 119 (in-phase stretching vibrations of C8-N9, C1-C2, C5-N4 and C3-N13 bonds in coupling with deformation vibration of purine ring), which is assigned to the strong IR band at 1539 cm −1 ; in the case of bare purine, the corresponding fundamental band is The fundamental bands involved in rms calculations have been italicized.…”
