Abstract
The gaseous general anesthetic halothane (CF3-CHBrCl) was studied by ab ini tio and density functional methods. The calculated vibrational spectrum was compared with the experimental ones. Scaling coefficients were used in the frequencies to improve the theoretical spectra, with errors lower than 0.5 %. The infrared and Raman spectra were predicted. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
