✦ Synopsis


Efforts to develop a database of quadratic force fields for organic molecules are described. The database is based on systematic ab initio calculations, scaled to reproduce the experimentally observed frequencies. The choice of the theoretical method, the basis sets, geometries, internal coordinates and the scaling procedure are discussed. A key point in the procedure is the automatic generation of the internal valence coordinates. This is also very advantageous for geometry optimization. The database should permit the prediction of vibrational frequencies for most organic molecules to lo-20 cm-', together with semiquantitative intensities. The accuracy is sufficient to identify unknown compounds from a list of reasonable candidates.

The results of the first calculations at the electron-correlated MΓΈller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory (MP2) method on the vibrational infrared spectra are reported. The obtained spectra have been discussed and compared to those calculated at the density functional theory and Hartree-Fock
