Résumé :

The infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of 3,3-dimethyl-1,2-bis(trimethylgermyl)cyclopropene (I) were measured in the liquid phase. Total geometry optimisation was performed at the HF/6-31G* level. The HF/6-31G*//HF6-31G* quantum mechanical force field (QMFF) was calculated and used to determine the theoretical fundamental vibrational frequencies, their predicted IR intensities, Raman activities, and Raman depolarisation ratios. Using Pulay's scaling method and the theoretical molecular geometry, the QMFF of I was scaled by a set of scaling factors comprised of elements transferred from the sets used to correct the QMFF's of 3,3-dimethylbutene-1, and 1-methyl-, 1,2-dimethyl-, and 3,3-dimethylcyclopropene (17 scale factors for a 105-dimensional problem). This set of scale factors was used previously to correct the QMFF of 3,3-dimethyl-1,2-bis(tert-butyl)cyclopropene and 3,3-dimethyl-1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclopropene. The scaled QMFF obtained was used to solve the vibrational problem. Differential Raman cross-sections were calculated using the quantum mechanical values of the Raman activities. The appropriate theoretical spectrograms for the Raman and IR spectra of I were constructed. Assignments of the experimental vibrational spectra of I are given. They take into account the calculated potential energy distributions and the correlation between the estimations of the experimental IR and Raman intensities and Raman depolarisation ratios and the corresponding theoretical values calculated using the unscaled QMFF. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
