Abstract
Different standard VPT2 codes employ Cartesian coordinates for the computation of rotational and vibrational spectroscopic parameters. However, curvilinear internal coordinates offer a number of advantages provided that a general non-redundant set of coordinates can be built and employed in an unsupervised workflow. In the present paper I summarize the main results and perspectives of a general engine employing curvilinear internal coordinates and perturbation theory for the computation of rotational and vibrational spectroscopic parameters of large molecules beyond the conventional rigid rotor/harmonic oscillator model. Some examples concerning biomolecule building blocks are discussed in some detail in order to better analyze the performance of the proposed strategy.
期刊介绍：
TCA publishes papers in all fields of theoretical chemistry, computational chemistry, and modeling. Fundamental studies as well as applications are included in the scope. In many cases, theorists and computational chemists have special concerns which reach either across the vertical borders of the special disciplines in chemistry or else across the horizontal borders of structure, spectra, synthesis, and dynamics. TCA is especially interested in papers that impact upon multiple chemical disciplines.
