Title Comment on: "FTIR, FT-Raman, scaled quantum chemical studies of the structure and vibrational spectra of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene" by Arivazhaga et al. [Spectrochim. Acta A72 (2009) 941-946]
Contributors
Abstract The title paper [1] reports ab-initio calculations of the structure and molecular vibrations of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene. The calculations are unminimised, the molecular structure is wrong and the vibrational spectra are misinterpreted. These errors have been corrected and the vibrational spectra of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene have been reassigned in agreement with the optical and neutron spectroscopic data.
