Product selection analysis for azo group formation by computational modeling
Presenter(s)
Jessie Johnson, Megan Johnson, and Kiley Passow
Abstract
Theoretical predictions of the relative stabilities (measured by Gibbs free energy values) and infrared (IR) spectra of structural isomers of several azo compounds were computed using molecular modeling software. Correlation between the location of the nitrogen attachment site to a phenol compound and relative isomer stability was investigated. Theoretical IR spectra were compared to experimental spectra for these compounds to assess the validity of the theoretical stability predictions.
