Abstract

The inelastic neutron scattering spectra of 2, 4 –Dinitroimidazole (24DNI) are presented from 25 to 1200 cm-1. Direct comparisons were made to the experimental spectra using solid-state calculation methods at the BLYP/dnd, BP/dnd, and PWC/dnd theory levels. Comparison of the observed and calculated INS spectra revealed that the BLYP/dnd calculations provide the best description of the experimental INS spectrum below 1000 cm-1. The PWC/dnd calculations were found to give the best vibrational agreement with the experimental frequencies above 1000 cm-1. In addition, the six experimental lattice vibrations were assigned. The first overtone of the lattice vibration with the highest vibrational energy is nearly degenerate with one of the fundamental vibrations, suggesting the possibility of a “doorway mode”.
