Quantum Tools for IR Interpretation

Quantum chemically computed infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool in molecular analysis, especially valuable when experimental samples are limited or when spectra are complicated by overlapping bands. This technique provides deep insights into molecular structures, allowing for the identification and characterization of molecules through their IR spectra. It provides insights that might be impossible to achieve through experimental means alone. Its capability to analyze vibrational properties sheds light on the types of chemical bonds present. This methodology is essential in differentiating similar compounds and finds wide application in fields like materials science, pharmaceutical research, and environmental monitoring. The cost-effectiveness and efficiency of this method make it especially useful in scenarios where experimental challenges, such as scarce samples or complex spectral data, are present.

However, conducting quantum chemical computations for IR spectroscopy entails considerable challenges due to its complexity and the resource-intensive nature of the process. These calculations, which involve solving intricate equations, demands significant computational power and sophisticated software. Expertise in quantum chemistry is a prerequisite for accurate calculation and interpretation. The time commitment for these computations can vary significantly, potentially spanning from hours to weeks, and is dependent on the molecular size and the required accuracy level. A key challenge is the trade-off between desired accuracy and computational feasibility, as achieving higher accuracy demands more resources.

Technology

In response to the inherent complexities of quantum chemical computation, we've pioneered the QSQN technology, backed by 41 patents, to provide instant access to quantum chemically computed IR spectroscopy and corresponding vibration animations. This advanced approach seamlessly integrates Quantum Chemistry, Statistical Thermodynamics, Quantitative Structure–Property Relationships (QSPR), and Neural Networks.

The QSQN framework ensures the production of high-quality IR spectra. Our quantum chemical calculations are meticulously refined using an optimal starting geometry, calculation method, basis set, and a carefully determined scaling factor for vibrational frequencies. This scaling factor is calibrated by comparing with an extensive database of over 2,500 experimental frequencies. For an in-depth understanding of our methodology, we invite you to explore the “High-Quality Quantum Chemical Computations” section on our technology webpage.
