Molecular structure, vibrational spectroscopic, first hyperpolarizability, NBO and HOMO, LUMO studies of P-Iodobenzene sulfonyl chloride.

In this work, the experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra of P-Iodobenzene sulfonyl chloride (P-IBSC) were studied. P-IBSC and its derivatives present in many biologically active compounds. Because of their spectroscopic properties and chemical significance in particular, sulfonyl chloride and its derivatives have been studied extensively by spectroscopic (FTIR and FT-Raman spectra) and theoretical methods. The infrared spectra of these compounds were recorded in condensed states, while the Raman spectra were measured without polarization using both parallel and perpendicular polarizations of scattered light. The molecular geometry, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), first order hyperpolarizability and thermodynamic properties of P-IBSC have been computed with the help of density functional theory (B3LYP) and ab initio (HF) methods with the LanL2DZ basis set. The HOMO and LUMO energy gap explains the charge transfer interactions taking place within the molecule. NBO study explains charge delocalization of the molecule. The contributions of the different modes to each wave number were determined using potential energy distributions (PEDs). The experimental and calculated results were consistent with each other.
