Characterization of peroxide-based explosives using Raman spectroscopy: Isotopic analysis and DFT calculations of triacetone triperoxide (TATP)

摘要

The Raman spectra of triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and its fully deuterated isotopologue (d18-TATP) have been measured. Density functional theory calculations were performed using the EDF2/6-311++G** and B3LYP/6-311++G** methods/basis set to predict the Raman spectra of both the parent and deuterated isotopologues. The predicted isotopic shifts were used to identify frequency shifts in the experimental results and tentative assignments have been made for 10 fundamental vibrational modes of d18-TATP.
