“…In recent years, quantum chemical calculations have been successfully used to solve this problem [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Previously, we conducted a detailed theoretical study of the vibrational spectra and the rotational isomerism of a number of the simplest representatives of aliphatic nitro compounds-methyl, ethyl, and n-propyl nitrate [4,5]. As a result, on the basis of comparative analysis with known experimental studies [2][3][4][5][6][7], spectral features of the conformational state of these molecules in the frequency range 10-4000 cm -1 were established.…”
