Abstract

The compound benzoyl peroxide is used topically to treat acne, keratosis, and anti-inflammatory. The results of Raman and IR spectroscopy obtained in the experiment were compared with the Gaussian quantum calculations with DFT/B3LYP the basis sets 6-311G+(d,p). The pharmacodynamic activity of the organic molecule benzoyl peroxide was analyzed by IR, Raman spectroscopy. The wavenumber positions of the bond in the benzoyl peroxide are all deviated from below the usual wavelength range. Mulliken electrical analysis showed that electron clouds guided through the carbon bonded to the peroxide group of the top molecule of the benzene ring. The electronegativity and chemical potential of benzoyl peroxide are of the order of 472955, indicating tight chemical bonds and high electron bonding strength.
