Abstract :
We present FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra of two β-methyl substituted thiophene dimers. Methylation at β-positions modulates the equilibrium molecular conformation, thus affecting the intramolecular delocalization of π-electrons. Ab initio Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to analyze the experimental data.
