Abstract
A systematic quantum mechanical study of the possible conformations and vibrational spectra of 2-amino 6-bromo 3-formylchromone has been reported. The equilibrium geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities and activities of Raman scattering were calculated by Hartree–Fock and density functional theory employing Becke's three-parameter (local, non-local and HF) hybrid exchange functionals with Lee–Yang–Parr co-relational (B3LYP) functionals using 6-311++G(d,p) basis set with complete relaxation in the potential energy surface. The calculated wavenumbers after proper scaling show a very good agreement with the observed values. The electrostatic potential mapped onto isodensity surface has been obtained. The natural bond orbital analysis has been carried out in order to study the intra-molecular bonding, interactions among bonds and delocalisation of unpaired electrons. The highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital studies have been conducted in order to determine the way the molecule interacts with other species.
