Vibrational Assignments and Normal Coordinate Analysis of 2-Fluorenyl Methyl Ketone.

Abstract

The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2-fluorenyl methyl ketone have
been recorded. The observed frequencies were assigned to various modes
of vibrations on the basis of normal coordinate calculations, assuming
C_S point group symmetry. The potential energy distribution associated
with normal modes is also reported here. The assignment of fundamental
vibrations agrees well with the calculated frequencies.
