Normal Coordinate Analysis of Poly Vinyl Acetate

Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra of poly vinyl acetate and its deuterated derivative were recorded and observed frequencies were assigned to various mode of vibration in terms of fundamentals and combinations by assuming Cs point group symmetry. A normal coordinate analysis was also carried out using simple valence force field. A complete vibrational analysis is presented here for these molecule and results are briefly discussed KeywordsFTIR spectra, FT-Raman spectra, Poly Vinyl Acetate, PED, Normal coordinate analysis, SVFF.
