Abstract

Recently, we have implemented a method to obtain automatically a quantum mechanical scaled force field within the procedure of Pulay. In the present work, the performance of this method is checked by taking large molecules as example tests: anthracene and naphthalene. Additionally, in order to improve the agreement between calculated and observed vibrational frequencies, the scaled force fields are refined using a new method also developed by us. The starting force fields of these molecules are obtained from a DFT/B3-LYP calculation by using the 6-31G∗ basis sets.
