Dear adf-list,

Forum: ADF and ADF-GUI discussions

Topic: Which one is better, analytical freq or numerical freq ?

Have you ever found the difference of frequencies obtained by analytical method and numerical method respectively in adf2006.01?

For instance, the C-O stretch vibration in the LaCO(for experimental data see: Chem.Eur.J. 2006,12,3226) is computed to be 1799cm-1 in numerical method and to be 1852cm-1 in analytical method , using the same DFT-becke perdew and the same basis sets-ZORA/TZ2P. Some other parameters are also the same shown as follows:

integration 7

unrestricted
charge 0 3

occupations
sigma 6//5
pi 6//4
end

SCF
ITERATIONS 300
Converge 1e-6
DIIS OK=0.01 cyc=10
END

So the question is why there exits such a gap between the two computed values ? which value is more credible ?

Thanks for your attention!
