Abstract

Infrared and Raman spectra of the terephthalate and terephthalate-d₄, ions have been obtained. Normal coordinate analysis was carried out for both ions by transferring force fields from previous work on aromatic esters and <i>p</i>-nitro-benzoate and then refining all the force constants for the carboxylate groups and the diagonal force constants for the benzene rings by a first-order perturbation technique. An interpretation of the observed spectra has been proposed and selected eigenvectors have been presented.
