Spectroscopic study of single crystal of β‐naphthol low‐frequency vibrations oriented gas model and lattice dynamics

Abstract

The polarized Raman and FIR spectra of a P-naphthol single crystal have been recorded in the 10-200 cm-' region. The spectra have been interpreted on the basis of an oriented gas model associated with lattice dynamic calculations assuming a '6-exp.' potential between non-bonded atoms and a simple harmonic force constant between oxygen atoms linked by hydrogen bonds.
