The FTIR and Laser Raman spectra of 2-chloro-6- methoxy pyridine have been recorded in the region 4000-400 cm-1 and 4000-100 cm-1 respectively. The bands observed in the FTIR spectra and Laser Raman spectra are discussed by assuming the compound under Cs point group symmetry. The probable assignments of the above molecule are based on group frequency approach together with the data available for similar molecules.
