I present a first-principles investigation of the vibrational properties of the chiral molecule 3-tert-butylcyclohexene. The vibrational density of states (vDOS) of the two existing conformers has been calculated ab initio within the framework of density-functional theory and density-functional perturbation theory, using both the local-density approximation and the generalized-gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation potential. The vDOS of the two conformers are very similar. The vDOS has been investigated with respect to contributions of the cyclohexene ring and the tert-butyl group and also regarding the localization of vibrational modes. Additionally, the eigendisplacements of characteristic modes of 3-tert-butylcyclohexene have been analyzed.

A systematic quantum mechanical study of the possible conformations, their relative stabilities, vibrational and electronic spectra and thermodynamic parameters of methyl-3-methoxy-2-propenoate has been reported for the electronic ground (S0) and first excited (S1) states using time-dependent and time-independent Density Functional Theory (DFT) and RHF methods in extended basis sets. Detailed studies have been restricted to the E-isomer, which is found to be substantially more stable than the Z-isomer. Four possible conformers c′Cc, c′Tc, t′Cc, t′Tc, of which the first two are most stable, have been identified in the S0 and S1 states. Electronic excitation to S1 state is accompanied with a reversal in the relative stability of the c′Cc and c′Tc conformers and a substantial reduction in the rotational barrier between them, as compared with the S0 state. Optimized geometries of these conformers in the S0 and S1 states are being reported. Based on suitably scaled RHF/6-31G** and DFT/6-311G** calculations, assignments have been provided to the fundamental vibrational bands of both these conformers in terms of frequency, form and intensity of vibrations and potential energy distribution across the symmetry coordinates in the S0 state. A complete interpretation of the electronic spectra of the conformers has been provided.
