Abstract
In this work we present a study of the structural and vibrational
properties of the chalcone
(2E)-1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-(furan-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one monohydrate,
C13H11O2N center dot H2O, a strong candidate for fluorescent probes,
luminescent materials and optoelectronic devices. The crystalline
structure of this chalcone monohydrate was determined at 273 K using
single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Attenuated Total Reflection
Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) and Fourier Transform-Raman
(FT-Raman) spectra of the crystal were recorded at room temperature in
the regions 600-4000 cm(-1) and 40-4000 cm(-1), respectively.
Vibrational wavenumbers were predicted using Density Functional Theory
(DFT) calculations with B3LYP exchange-correlation functional with the
B3LYP functional and 6-31G(d) basis set. A comparison with experimental
spectra using a hydrated model allowed us to assign all of the normal
modes of this crystal. Additionally, we report the UV-Vis spectra and
the Hirshfeld surface analysis of the AFPO crystal. (C) 2020 Elsevier
