标题: intermolecular calculation procedure
本帖最后由 moiumuio 于 2024-2-23 00:54 编辑

Hi, I want to calculate the intermolecular interaction (energy, bonding distance and further analysis like RDG) for my new structure healing polymer through DFT. I want to ask if I have to do the Freq (vibration) together with optimization or I just need to do optimization only. Thanks in advance.

There is no such thing as "calculate the intermolecular" (intermolecular is an adjective, not a noun). Do you mean calculating intermolecular binding energies? Or intermolecular dispersion energies? Or intermolecular reaction energies? Or other intermolecular quantities?

Usually, without special reason (such as computational cost is prohibitively high), you always need to perform frequency analysis after geometry optimization to confirm that the converged geometry is meaningful.

Sorry my bad that I didn't double check my words. It should be: "intermolecular interaction". Thank you
