“…This problem can, to some extend, be overcome by taking molecular structures from snapshots of molecular dynamics (MD) runs. 6,[9][10][11][12] Subsequent Raman spectra calculations for each of these molecular structures and averaging over the resulting spectra 6,11,12 lead to a better agreement with experimental data, but -although still relying on the double-harmonic approximation -with a significantly higher computational effort compared to a single static harmonic calculation. Employing such a procedure, snapshots from ab initio MD (AIMD) 13,14 simulations have been found to be superior to the ones generated employing classical MD.…”
