Abstract

The Schiff base 4-(1E)-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)methylideneamino-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1 ,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (C18H17N3O2) is a synthetic compound with a variety of scientific and technological applications, such as clinic, analytic and pharmacologic. In this work FT-Raman spectrum and FT-infrared spectrum of C18H17N3O2 were investigated at 300 K. Vibrational wavenumber and wave vector have been predicted using Density Functional Theory (B3LYP) calculations with the 6-31 G(d,p) basis set. The description of the normal modes was performed by means of the potential energy distribution. A comparison with experiment allowed us to assign most of the normal modes of the crystal.
