This work deals with the vibrational spectroscopy of 1-naphthyl acetic acid. The molecular vibrations of 1-naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) is investigated in polycrystalline sample, at room temperature, by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and FT-Raman spectroscopy. In parallel, ab initio and various density functional (DFT) methods were used to determine the geometrical, energetic and vibrational characteristics of NAA. On the basis of B3LYP/6-311+G** method and basis set combinations, a normal mode analysis was performed to assign the various fundamental frequencies according to the total energy distribution (TED). Simulation of infrared and Raman spectra, utilizing the results of these calculations led to excellent overall agreement with observed spectral patterns by refinement of scale factors.
