Abstract
An accurate assignment of the vibrational spectra of 4-Formylbenzoic acid in solid state was carried out. For this purpose density functional calculations (DFT) were performed to clarify wavenumber assignments of the experimentally observed bands for the first time. A scaling of the wavenumbers was carried out to improve the calculated values. Good reproduction of the experimental wavenumbers is obtained and the % error is very small in the majority of cases. The NBO analysis was carried out, and it reveals hyper conjugative interaction, ICT and stabilization of molecules.
