Raman and IR spectra of butane: Anharmonic calculations and interpretation of room temperature spectra
نویسندگان
چکیده
First-principles anharmonic calculations are carried out for the IR and Raman spectra of the CAH stretching bands in butane. The calculations use the Vibrational Self-Consistent Field (VSCF) algorithm. The results are compared with gas-state experiments. Very good agreement between the computed and experimental results is found. Theory is successful also in computing a weak peak which is caused by combination transitions. The B3LYP potential surface is found superior to MP2, though both methods give good accord with experiment. The theoretical results provide an understanding of the role of different modes in the spectra of hydrocarbons. ! 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Analytic calculations of anharmonic infrared and Raman vibrational spectra
Using a recently developed recursive scheme for the calculation of high-order geometric derivatives of frequency-dependent molecular properties [Ringholm et al., J. Comp. Chem., 2014, 35, 622], we present the first analytic calculations of anharmonic infrared (IR) and Raman spectra including anharmonicity both in the vibrational frequencies and in the IR and Raman intensities. In the case of an...
متن کاملAnharmonic effects in IR, Raman, and Raman optical activity spectra of alanine and proline zwitterions.
The difference spectroscopy of the Raman optical activity (ROA) provides extended information about molecular structure. However, interpretation of the spectra is based on complex and often inaccurate simulations. Previously, the authors attempted to make the calculations more robust by including the solvent and exploring the role of molecular flexibility for alanine and proline zwitterions. In...
