Vibrational spectra of methylthiirane

Vibrational Raman, infrared absorption, and infrared circular dichroism (VCD) spectra were measured for methylthiirane. Ab inito vibrational frequencies were calculated with a 6-31G basis, and vibrational assignments were suggested by comparing the experimental and theoretical data. These assignments were used for the interpretation of the experimental VCD spectrum of (R)-methylthiirane.
