Nitro compound and nitro derivatives are industrially important to produce rubber and agricultural chemicals. In this study, one of the promising derivatives of nitro compound 2-Nitro-2-phenyl-propane-1,3-diol (2NPP) is examined in detail. FT-Infrared and dispersive Raman spectra of 2NPP (C9H11NO4) were respectively recorded in 4000-10 cm(-I) and 4000-100 cm(-1). The bond distances and angles, conformational distributions, vibrational frequencies and the assignment of each mode, some thermodynamic parameters and reactivity descriptors: total energy, hardness, chemical potential, electrophilicity index, electronegativity, frontier orbitals energy gap of 2NPP were investigated by using DFT/B3LYP method with 6-31++G (d,p) basis set. In order to locate the global minimum on the potential energy surface of 2NPP, a beforehand conformational examinations were carried out using Spartan 10 along with semi-emprical PM6 method. The results of conformational analyses showed that there are five possible conformations having energies under 2 kcal/mol. Comparison of the theoretical and experimental results clearly indicates that density functional hybrid B3LYP/6-31++G (d,p) level of theory can be used to predict vibrational frequencies and structural parameters of 2NPP. Further, Cl geometry is considered to be the global minimum conformation of 2NPP. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
