The FT-IR, FT-Raman, ¹H and ¹³C NMR study on molecular structure of sodium(I), calcium(II), lanthanum(III) and thorium(IV) cinnamates

Abstract

In this work the effect of sodium(I), calcium(II), lanthanum(III) and thorium(IV) ions on the electronic structure of cinnamic acid (phenylacrylic acid) was studied. In this research: infrared (FT-IR), Raman (FT-Raman), nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H, ¹³C NMR) were used. In the series of Na(I)→ Ca(II)→ La(III)→ Th(IV) cinnamates: (1) systematic shifts of several bands in the FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra, and (2) regular chemical shifts of protons ¹H and ¹³C nuclei were observed.
