Molecular-Dynamics Simulation of Infrared-Spectra for Potassium Palmitate B-Form Crystal
The intra- and intermolecular potentials of potassium palmitate B-form crystal were estimated by a normal mode analysis and a molecular dynamics simulation. Based on these potentials, we calculated the time history of the dipolemoment in the nine unit cells (3a X 3b) containing 18 molecules and obtained the polarized infrared spectra by a Fourier transformation. The frequencies and the intensities of the intense bands agreed well with the observed ones, and were consistent with the crystal structure.
