Abstract

Ab initio calculations of vibrational unpolarized absorption and circular dichroism spectra of 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1] octane are reported. The harmonic force field is calculated via Density Functional Theory using three density functionals: LSDA, BLYP, B3LYP. The basis set is 6-31G* Spectra calculated using the hybrid B3LYP functional give the best agreement with experimental spectra, demonstrating that this functional is superior in accuracy to the BLYP and LSDA functionals.
