Abstract
In the present study, the natural product 3-Methoxyquercetin, a
flavonoid with potential antiviral activity, was characterized through
infrared and Raman spectroscopies combined with Density Functional
Theory calculation. The flavonoid was extracted from Strychnos
pseudoquina St. Hil (Loganiaceae) by chromatographic techniques. The
optimized molecular structure and calculated vibrational spectra were
performed by B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) basis set. The optimized structure was
compared with X-ray diffraction data of other flavonoids compounds, and
the theoretical data are in good agreement with experimental ones.
Fourier transform-Raman and -infrared spectra, as well as the assignment
of the normal modes are also presented. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All
