Abstract
Infrared and Raman spectra were obtained for 2-bromopentane, 3-bromopentane, 2-bromohexane, and 3-bromohexane. Vibrational assignments were made for several conformers of each compound with the aid of normal coordinate calculations. A 48 parameter modified valence force field was obtained that fit 221 frequencies of three conformers of 2-bromopentane, 4 conformers of 3-bromopentane, and 1 conformer of 2-bromobutane with an average error of 4.1 cm−1. This force field was transferred to the bromohexanes, with good results.
