-To compute the vibrational spectra, we need to first find a minimum structure for the systems. To this end, we use the input files ** optc6h6.inp ** and **optmet.inp**These runs are still done with DFT (not DFTB). The last geometry from the ** C6H6-pos.1.xyz ** is the optimized oneCopy it to optc6h6.xyz. This will be the input for the ** vibc6h6.inp ** which computes the spectra, by adding a new section in the input:+To compute the vibrational spectra, we need to first find a minimum energy structure for the systems. Here files optc6h6.xyz and optmet.xyz, present in exercise-10.1.tar.gz, are minimum energy structures. The geometry **optc6h6.xyz** will be the input for the **vibc6h6.inp** and **optmet.xyz** will be the input for the **vibmet.inp**. The following important section (present in the input files) computes the vibrational spectra.
