β¦ Synopsis
The concept of characterizing normal vibrational modes l in terms of internal vibrational modes v typical of molecular fragments or structural subunits is n developed. Essential for this concept is the amplitude A A that provides the basis for a n quantitative comparison of modes l and v and, by this, facilitates the extraction of n chemical information out of vibrational spectra. Twelve possibilities of defining amplitude Ε½ . Ε½ . A A are tested with regard to a the physical basis of the definition of A A, b the dependence of A A on the set of internal parameters chosen to describe the molecule, and Ε½ . c the amount of chemical information transferred by A A. The two most promising candidates for a generally applicable amplitude A A are based on adiabatic internal modes and a comparison of l and v with the help of mass or force constant matrix. For the n practical testing of amplitude A A, three different criteria are developed.

Adiabatic internal frequencies are compared with c-vector frequencies and intrinsic frequencies. It is shown that c-vector modes are not suitable to characterize molecular fragments since they are not localized in and their definition leads to n n unreasonable frequency values.

The CNM characterization of normal modes method for extracting chemical information out of vibrational spectra is tested for vibrational spectra of molecules with relatively strong or relatively weak coupling between internal vibrational modes.

A new method for quantitatively comparing calculated vibrational modes is described that relies on projecting the vectors describing the normal modes of one molecule onto those of a basis molecule. The procedure virtually automates the assignment of vibrational modes from one molecule to a second, s
