Abstract
Seselin, C14H12O3, is a coumarin which crystallizes in a monoclinic
structure P2(1)/b(C-2h(5)) with four molecules per unit cell. In a
Fourier-transform Raman spectroscopic study performed at room
temperature, several normal modes were observed. Vibrational wavenumber
and wave vector calculations using density functional theory were
compared with experiment, which allowed the assignment of a number of
normal modes of the crystal. Temperature-dependent Raman spectra were
recorded between 10 and 300 K. No anomalies were observed in the phonon
spectra, indicating that the monoclinic structure remains stable.
