Description

We are currently estimating vibrational frequencies (in order to get densities of states for the PDep Master Equation calculations) for all sorts of small molecules, for which we should use the known values from high level calculations (eg. those used to generate the thermo).

Research direction

Start by locating the statistical mechanics library and depository structures used for vibrational frequencies and the thermo data generated from high-level calculations. Determine how known frequencies should be represented and selected for small molecules, then verify that the values are available to the PDep Master Equation density-of-states calculation.
