abstract = {The theoretical evaluation of vibrational spectra has, in
the past, played a crucial role regarding assignment of
vibrational spectra, an aspect that might be largely
forgotten. This, however, is actually ever so true today,
where despite the presence of data bases of spectra (atlas
of spectra) there is still a large number of species
including, though certainly not exclusively, less stable
species which have spectra lacking appropriate
interpretation. In recent years the capabilities to
calculate vibrational spectra have greatly improved. In this
review the basic various approaches are introduced. For
practical use, the use of comparatively simple tools
including Hartree-Fock level or standard DFT type
calculations often already do a very good job at the
comparative level. An important recent development includes
the observation that differences between experimental and
calculated frequencies are largely due to neglect of
anharmonicity rather than the theoretical method employed.
Methods to include anharmonicity are becoming available for
users. The introduction of methods allowing for periodic
calculations, involving full 3D molecular structures, lead
to new opportunities and final answers to long-standing
issues. A number of examples are provided showing where
calculated spectra have provided unique added value to
experimental work. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights
