Towards Accurate Spectroscopic Identification of Species at Catalytic Surfaces: Anharmonic Vibrations of Formate on AuPt

Abstract: We present a calculation of vibrational frequencies of formate on the AuPt(111) surface alloy including full anharmonicity and coupling of all six intramolecular degrees of freedom. This species is a key intermediate in methanol oxidation on this material. We use a modified version of the method of Manzhos and Carrington to compute the spectrum directly from a small number (<10,000) of DFT single-point energies, bypassing the construction of a potential energy surface. This is the first such calculation for a … Show more

“…Gaussian functions are general and form a sufficiently small basis set (especially if their parameters are fitted) for the calculation to be doable on a personal computer for low-dimensional problems, such as triatomic molecules, and for a small number of states [13,20,27]. For larger molecules and large numbers of states, either other types of basis functions need to be used, such as parameterized harmonic functions, which allow for a small basis set size, as was tested in up to 15 dimensions [11][12][13]19,31], or a much larger Gaussian basis would be needed. For example, a sub-cm −1 accuracy has been achieved for the vibrational spectrum of formaldehyde (a six-dimensional SE), with about 40,000 basis functions and with more than 100,000 collocation points [30,33,34].…”
