Synthesis, Molecular Structure of Diethyl Phenylenebis(Methylene)Dicarbamates and FTIR Spectroscopy Molecular Recognition Study with Benzenediols

The synthesis, density functional theory (DFT) molecular structure and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) molecular recognition study of diethyl phenylenebis(methylene) dicarbamates with 1,2- and 1,3-benzenediols is described. The formation of the complexes was confirmed by the shift of the O-H stretching bands in the IR spectra of the complexes compared with the IR spectra of the noncomplexed benzenediols.
