Resumo

MNDO-based calculations have been used to predict the fundamental vibrational frequencies of 2-pyrrolidinone, N-methyl 2-pyrrolidinone, and one deutero-isotopomer of each of the two compounds. A good over-all fit between observed and calculated frequencies was obtained. Comparisons of the MNDO results were made with previously published normal coordinate analyses of the same compounds. A critical and important result is that MNDO correctly calculates the in-plane NH deformational mode of 2-pyrrolidinone not to mix with either the amide bond or carbonyl bond stretches.
