“…1) to assess the substitutional effects on the structure and vibrational spectra. We calculated gas-phase geometries and vibrational spectra of bis(BO-NS)Me, BO-NSH, BO-NHS, BO-NSMe, and BO-NMeS with density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP hybrid functional, which has been already proved to be very effective for vibrational studies of analogous compounds by using at least double-z Pople basis sets [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The computed vibrational frequencies, and IR/Raman intensities were used to simulate the vibrational spectra and to identify normal modes in the experimental vibrational spectra.…”
