Fj. Ramirez et al., A SEMIEMPIRICAL APPROACH FOR THE CALCULATION OF THE VIBRATIONAL-SPECTRA OF CONDUCTING POLYMERS - THE CASE OF POLYSELENOPHENE, Journal of molecular structure, 348, 1995, pp. 91-94
The vibrational dynamics of oligomers of selenophene is treated theore
tically and the experimental infrared and Raman spectra are studied in
order to derive information for the interpretation of the spectra of
pristine polyselenophene. Both the electronic and geometrical structur
es as well as the dynamical and spectroscopic properties have been cal
culated by the semiempirical PM3 method. For the polymer, k=0 phonon f
requencies are calculated and a vibrational assignment in proposed.
