Molecular distortion of dynamic molecules gives a clear signature in the vibrational spectra, which can be modeled to give estimates energy barrier and sensitivity frequencies modes reaction coordinate. The coordinate method (RCM) utilizes ab initio-calculated spectra molecule its ground transition states together with their relative energies predict temperature dependence spectra. DFT-calculated eclipsed (D5h ) staggered (D5d forms ferrocene (Fc), deuterated analogue, within RCM explain IR...
