Notes on the vibrational scaling factors used in spectral simulations A preliminary investigation of suitable scaling factors for MP2 and B3LYP with a 6-311+G** basis, using spectroscopic data from aniline, ethylbenzene, methylamine and ethylamine determined the following set of empirical scaling factors for the different types of stretch modes: Method aliphatic-ch aromatic-ch aliphatic-nh aromaticc-nh MP2 0.9387 0.9484 0.9425 0.9536 B3LYP 0.9614 0.9602 0.9568 0.9580 1. MP2/TZVPP (scaled 0.94) As stated in the table 2 footnote, MP2/TZVPP wavenumber values were scaled by 0.94. This value was selected to allow the best prediction of aliphatic CH stretch modes, and is also identical to the value chosen for CH and OH stretch modes computed at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level in the study of Myshakin et al.[ref 64]. We note however that this does not match the optimal scaling factor for the anilinic NH stretch modes from the list above, and the predictions for the corresponding vibrations in figure 5 are correspondingly too low. 2. B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ (scaled 0.96). Unlike the MP2 case, for B3LYP a single scaling factor of 0.96 is broadly suited to all the CH and NH stretch modes. Note that in the study of Halls et. al., a similar scaling factor of 0.9659 is recommended for modes over 1800 cm-1 computed at the B3LYP/pVTZ level, and is reported to produce a standard deviation of 39 cm -1. [Halls, M. D.; Velkovski, J.; Schlegel, H. B., "Harmonic Frequency Scaling Factors for Hartree- Fock, S-VWN, B-LYP, B3-LYP, B3-PW91 and MP2 with the Sadlej pvtz Electric Property Basis Set," Theor. Chem. Acc., 2001, 105, 413-421] 3. M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ (scaled 0.946) The scaling factor of 0.946 is consistent with those reported in Alecu et. al. for fundamental wavenumber values: M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ 0.946 standard deviation 48 cm -1 M06-2X/def2-TZVPP 0.945 standard deviation 48 cm -1 [I. M. Alecu, Jingjing Zheng, Yan Zhao, and Donald G. Truhlar, J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2010, 6, 2872 2887] 7
