“…It has moderate IR intensity and Raman activity, has a PED of 39% and is not pure, but contains significant contributions from other modes also. Benzon et al[60] reported OH in-plane deformation at 1406 cm -1 and C-O stretching at 1229 cm -1 .The CH stretching modes of the phenyl ring are observed at 3068, 3031 cm -1 in the IR spectrum, 3063, 3035 cm -1 in the Raman spectrum and the DFT calculations give these modes as pure modes at 3080, 3065, 3055 and 3030 cm -1 with PEDs above 99% for the title compound[53]. The υPhI modes are expected in the region 1280-1630 cm -1 for para substituted phenyl rings[53] and the modes observed at 1590, 1498, 1417 cm -1 in the IR spectrum, at 1581, 1540, 1494, 1318 cm -1 in the Raman spectrum and at 1585, 1555, 1491, 1416, 1321 cm -1 theoretically are assigned as υPhI modes.…”
