The structural features such as geometric parameters, vibration frequencies and intensities of the vibrational bands of 2,2'-dipyridylamine ligand (DPA), its palladium (Pd(DPA)Cl-2) and platinum (Pt(DPA)Cl-2) complexes were studied by the density functional theory (DFT). The calculations were carried out by DFT / B3LYP method with 6-311++G(d,p) and LANL2DZ basis sets. All vibrational frequencies assigned in detail with the help of total energy distribution analysis (TED). Optimized geometric bond lengths and bond angles were compared with experimental X-ray data. Using DPA, K2PtCl4, and Na2PdCl4, the synthesized complex structures were characterized by the combination of elemental analysis, FT-IR (mid and far IR) and Raman spectroscopy.
