 In this exercise we will compare the vibrational spectrum of two molecules (methanol and benzene) computed with a static method (diagonalization of the dynamical matrix) and with molecular dynamics. The spectra for methanol are available in this paper [[doi>10.1039/c3cp44302g]]. As in the last lectures, to make this exercise computationally feasible, we will use for MD the efficient Density Functional based Tight Binding (DFTB) method. It requires only a minima basis, but delivers nevertheless reasonable results due to an empirical correction term called //repulsion potential//. In this exercise we will compare the vibrational spectrum of two molecules (methanol and benzene) computed with a static method (diagonalization of the dynamical matrix) and with molecular dynamics.

 +<note warning>The ** .mol ** file for c6h6 is already there, since the job is quite long. However, if you plan to run it (maybe after the methanol case) remember to add the option to ask for more wallclock time ** -W HH:MM ** to bsub.
