Quantum-Chemistry Centered Normal Coordinate Analysis (QCC-NCA)
![](picts/qcc-ncas.jpg)
Model [Fe(P)(MI)(NO)] has only C1 symmetry and hence,
about 18000 individual force constants
This is impossible to solve for conventional Normal Coordinate Analysis (NCA)
QCC-NCA: use DFT calculated force field as initial guess
Subdivide system into core (Fe-NO unit) and frame (porphyrin, MI)
Refine only selected force constants to reproduce the vibrations of the core
We have developed software to routinely perform these calculations
