Experimental and theoretical studyof the interaction of molybdenocene dichloride (Cp2MoCl2) with β-cyclodextrin Abstract A crystalline 1:1 inclusion complex was isolated from the reaction of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with aqueous Cp2MoCl2. The existence of a true inclusion complex in the solid-state was confirmed by a combination of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), FTIR and Raman…

Evidence of C-H…O hydrogen bonds in liquid 4-ethoxybenzaldehyde from NMR and vibrational spectroscopies. Abstract Raman, FTIR, and NMR (both 13C and 17O) spectroscopies are used in a complementary way in order to study the occurrence of C−H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds in liquid 4-ethoxybenzaldehyde (4EtOB). Additional information concerning the structure of the possible dimers is obtained…

Selection of substituted benzaldehyde conformers by the cyclodextrin inclusion process: a Raman spectroscopic study Abstract Raman spectra of benzaldehyde (B), 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde (4MeOB), 3-methoxybenzaldehyde (3MeOB), 3-methylbenzaldehyde (3MB) and 3-chlorobenzaldehyde (3CB) included in α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins (α-, β- and γCD) were recorded. The effects of the inclusion process on the conformational isomerism and on the hydrogen…

Conformational study of α,2-dimethylstyrene: Raman and FT-IR spectra, and ab initio calculations Abstract Vibrational spectra (Raman and FT-IR) of liquid phase and ab initio SCF MO calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level are reported for α,2-dimethylstyrene. The calculations predict two minima with different orientations of the CC double bond relative to the 2-methyl group, but only…
