Marcel Baer, Dominik Marx, and Gerald Mathias BOMD at 150K with CP2K BLYP with dispersion correction & TZV2P basis set Chem Phys Chem 2011, 12, 1906 – 1915 AIMD approximately reproduces the relative peak heights and also the widths of the experimental bands. ….. one cannot expect to compute IR spectra classically in the sense of a “black-box” approach, but one rather has to carefully probe, crosscheck, and consider their temperature dependence when comparing to experiment and assigning bands; we note in passing that failing to do so is probably a major reason why previous studies fall short in explaining complex vibrational spectra.
