pubmed-article:17625959 | pubmed:abstractText | The solid phase FTIR and Raman spectra of 6-methyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (MTHQ) have been recorded in the regions 4000-100 and 3500-100 cm(-1), respectively. The spectra were interpreted with the aid of normal coordinate analysis following a full structure optimization and force field calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) using the standard B3LYP/6-311+G(**) basis set combination. A close agreement was achieved between the observed and calculated frequencies by refinement of the scale factors. | lld:pubmed |
