S-(−)-Limonene oxide (4-isopropenyl-1-methyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane) is a secondary metabolite and an atmospheric pollutant product of oxidation of other terpenes, such as limonene and α-pinene, among others. For the first time, a theoretical study of the molecular structure and a theoretical and experimental analysis of the infrared and Raman spectra of this chemical species are presented. Theoretical calculations reveal the existence of two conformers depending on the position of the isopropenyl group (axial and equatorial) and twelve rotamers (six equatorials and six axials), with the six equatorial ones as the most stable (around 97%) on the basis of Boltzmann’s distribution law. In the current work, from a reliable assignment of the IR and Raman spectra and with the help from the study of the VCD spectrum of the title compound, five rotamers have been detected experimentally in the liquid phase. The present work reveals that IR, Raman and VCD are helpful complementary techniques to characterize flexible systems, as terpenes, which present several conformers.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
