Abstract :Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra of trans-1,4-polychloroprene have been recorded in the range of 4000-400 and 3500-100 cm-1, respectively. In the present investigation, detailed assignments of the observed fundamental bands of trans-1,4-polychloroprene were analysed in terms of peak positions and relative intensities. In the hope of providing more effective information on the fundamental vibrations, a normal coordinate analysis was performed on trans-1,4-polychloroprene, by assuming CS symmetry. The simple general valance force field (SGVFF) was employed in normal coordinate analysis and to calculate the potential energy distribution (PED) for each fundamental vibration. The PED contribution corresponding to each of the observed frequencies shows the reliability and accuracy of the spectral analysis.
