cheap input (B3LYP) bands
How to read this

35 infrared-active bands (500–3500 cm⁻¹); the strongest at 1298 cm⁻¹ (7.7 µm), 288 km/mol.

cheap input (B3LYP): blue curve, sticks orange at the curve's peak scale. Lorentzian, FWHM 10 cm⁻¹; axis in km mol⁻¹ per cm⁻¹.

Band heights from the molecule's dipole derivatives and the same B3LYP Hessian as the listed positions (double harmonic).

Predicted spectrum (rung 3, the learned correction): computed by the pipeline, not drawn on this page; licensed for ring-ip, CH-stretch, CH-oop (decision 65).

Overlap: similarity of the two broadened spectra (1 = the same shape). Height error: relative error per band, weighted by height (0 = the same heights). "Corrected" is the learned correction on molecules it never saw; the pipeline serves it for the licensed families. Open: the dipole derivatives themselves are computed at the cheap level (on benzene they differ from coupled cluster by about 20 %).

Harmonic frequencies at the cheap level (deck v1: B3LYP and ωB97X, 6-31G*, at the B3LYP geometry)

66 vibrational modes; imaginary modes negative. Shift = ωB97X − B3LYP; height = B3LYP band height (km/mol).

The B3LYP bands are drawn in the spectrum above; the table adds their heights, the ωB97X positions and the shift.
