RESUMO
Spectroscopic and theoretical quantum chemical studies of 2,5-dihydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide and 3-methyl-2,5-dihydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide have been carried out by FTIR and FT-Raman spectral techniques along with B3LYP methods. The geometry of the compounds have been optimised by B3LYP method with 6-311++G(∗∗) and cc-pVTZ basis sets. The geometrical parameters obtained at B3LYP levels have been compared with the experimental values. Molecular electrostatic potential surface, total electron density distribution and frontier molecular orbital are constructed at B3LYP/cc-pVTZ level to understand the electronic properties. The charge density distribution and sites of chemical reactivity of the molecules have been obtained by mapping electron density isosurface with electrostatic potential surfaces. Natural bond orbital analysis of the molecules are carried out and the occupancies and the atomic hybrid contributions are calculated.
