Özet

In this work, 2-amino-5-chlorobenzoic acid (AClBA) was studied for the first time using matrixisolation spectroscopy in solid argon matrix at 15 K. The molecule has four different conformers, differing byinternal rotation about the C–C and C–O bonds. The lowest energy form (O=C-C-C dihedral angle of 0o) wasexperimentally observed in the IR spectra of the as-deposited AClBA matrices. UV irradiation at  > 234 nm of thematrix-isolated compound was found to lead to conversion of this conformer into the other conformers and also todecarboxylation of the compound, with production of CO2. The data of the experimental infrared spectrum results onmatrix isolated AClBA were compared with theoretical calculated results.
