A
force constant matrix F (consisted from second derivatives of the molecular
potential with respect to nucleus coordinates in the equilibrium configuration)
is one of the most important information about the intramolecular dynamics
and defines vibrational properties (including infrared and Raman spectra,
vibration-rotational spectra, etc.).
There are two main sources for the molecular force
field determination. The first way is solving the inverse problem using
an experimental data on molecular spectra and electron diffraction measurement.
Both (vibrational or generalized structural) problems belong to the class
of nonlinear ill-posed problems [1]. Other way is to estimate the molecular
force field by carrying out quantum mechanical calculations with a goal
to obtain the theoretical equilibrium configuration and force constants.
We have proposed to join these two approaches in
the unique statement based on joint treatment of experimental and quantum
mechanical data. On this base the concept of regularized quantum mechanical
force field (RQMFF) was proposed, and new formulations of inverse problems
were given. Stable numerical methods for the solving corresponding inverse
problems have been developed. New regularizing algorithms allow us to
carry out a special modeling of matrix F based on the different constraints
which take into account the relative order of intramolecular forces. Force
fields of extended molecular systems (clusters, polymers etc.) are constructed
on a base of synthesis of separate blocks of force constants. For the
estimation of intermolecular force constants we use the regularizing algorithm
based on the joint use of empirical data on the second virial coefficients
and results of quantum mechanical calculations.
The next scheme for the calculations of vibrational
spectra of the large size molecules such as polymers, nanostructures,
biological systems, etc. can be proposed:
1) quantum mechanical analysis of moderate size molecules
chosen as key or model molecules which are the fragments of large molecular
systems;
2) joint treatment of ab initio and experimental data
on vibrational spectra, ED and MW data for model molecules with stable
numerical methods with a goal to estimate the accurate molecular force
field;
3) organizing a database on structural data and force
field parameters transferable in a series of related compounds;
4) synthesis (construction) of a large molecular system
from separate fragments included in the database and calculation of its
vibrational spectra and thermodynamical functions.
