“…In the present spectroscopic study, we choose 2,5-difluorophenol to learn the effects of substituent-ring and substituent-substituent interactions on molecular geometry, transition energy, and vibrational frequency. Although no optical spectrum of 2,5-difluorophenol has been reported, the existing experimental data of 2-fluorophenol 14 -16 , 2,4-difluorophenol 11,12 , 3-fluorophenol 15,17,18 , 4-fluorophenol 15,19 , 3,4-difluorophenol 13 , and 2,5-difluoroaniline 20 are useful for spectral assignment and interpretation.…”
