The structural properties and vibrational frequencies of 2-phenyl-2-imidazoline have been investigated using theoretical and techniques by which a good correlation was observed. The assignments of the vibrational modes were performed with the help of normal co-ordinate analysis following the Scaled Quantum Mechanical Force Field methodology. Natural bond orbital analysis and the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gap analysis have been carried out. UV-visible spectrum of the compound was recorded and compared with the theoretical UV-visible spectrum of the title molecule using Symmetry Adapted Cluster-Configuration Interaction method which yielded good agreement. Our results reflect that the title compound can be used as good source of UV light.
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.
