Calculation of IR Spectra


CAChe allows the calculation of IR spectra for organic and a limited number of inorganic compounds utilizing the MOPAC calculational routines AM1 and PM3 (See the CAChe Manual for a listing of elements usable with MOPAC). In this tutorial, the IR spectrum of carbon dioxide will be calculated.
