Fourier transform (FT) Raman and infrared spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory calculations have been applied to the vibrational characterization of the dimeric zinc diphenylphosphanyl(trimethylsilyl)amide complex [(Me3Si)2NZnPh2PNSiMe3]2 and the ortho-metallated species [Li( o-C6H4PPh2NSiMe3)]2·Et2O in relation to their parent starting materials diphenylphosphanyl (trimethylsilyl)amine Ph2P–N(H)SiMe3 and iminophosphorane Ph3P=NSiMe3. The spectroscopic changes evidenced in the spectra were correlated with the structural parameters in order to provide insight as to what extent the P–N bond is affected by the coordination to the metal center. The employment of density functional theory (DFT) calculations in addition to these spectroscopic methods offers the possibility of predicting whether the Lewis-basic imido nitrogen atom is involved in coordination not only in the solid state, but also in the gas phase.

We present the first Fourier-transform infrared absorption (FT-IR) and Fourier-transform Raman (FT-Raman) analysis of vibrational structure of [N-phenylamino(2-boronphenyl)-R-methyl]phosphonic acid ([PhN-(2-PhB(OH)2)-R-Me]PO3H2). Assignments of experimental wavenumbers are based on performed theoretical calculations using density functional theory (DFT). Theoretical calculations show that the most stable structure of the investigated molecule is dimer incis-transconformation created by a pair of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the boron hydroxyl groups of two monomers.

We investigated Molybdenum (Mo) defects in 4H silicon carbide (SiC). This system can be suitable candidate for in vivo biomarker applications since it shows photoluminescence (PL) in the near-infrared (NIR) region. In order to reveal the origin of this Mo-related PL center we carried out ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations on two microscopic models.

The physicochemical properties and reactivity of macrocycles are critically shaped by their conformations. In this work, we have identified seven conformations of the macrocyclic ketone cyclododecanone using chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy in combination with ab initio and density functional theory calculations. Cyclododecanone is strongly biased towards adopting a square configuration of the heavy atom framework featuring three C–C bonds per side. The substitution and effective structures of this conformation have been determined through the observation of its 13C isotopologues. The minimisation of transannular interactions and, to a lesser extent, HCCH eclipsed configurations drive conformational preferences. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the intrinsic forces mediating structural choices in macrocycles.
