Abstract Vibrational assignment, which establishes the correspondence between vibrational modes and spectral frequencies, is a key step in any spectroscopic study. Due to the lack of experimental technique to directly observe the thermal vibration of atoms, the assignment is usually done by empirical trial-and-error method with considerable uncertainty. Here we demonstrate a successful study of intrinsic molecular vibration property based on first-principles molecular dynamics trajectory. A unified approach for calculating and assigning vibrational frequencies is developed and applied to solve some historical issues of benzene vibration. As a major achievement, the experimental frequencies of benzene a2g and b2u vibrations are reassigned, which breaks a deadlock in contemporary spectroscopic science and removes a cloud over the application of density-functional theory in organic chemistry. This work paves the way for the comprehensive realization of the first-principles spectroscopic research, and provides crucial clues to solve the century-old problems of Kekule resonance, π-deformation, and aromaticity.

Although cyclo[18]carbon has been theoretically and experimentally investigated since long time ago, only very recently it was prepared and directly observed by means of STM/AFM in condensed phase (Kaiser et al., <i>Science</i>, <b>365</b>, 1299 (2019)). The unique ring structure and dual 18-center π delocalization feature bring a variety of unusual characteristics and properties to the cyclo[18]carbon, which are quite worth to be explored. In this work, we present an extremely comprehensive and detailed investigation on almost all aspects of the cyclo[18]carbon, including (1) Geometric characteristics (2) Bonding nature (3) Electron delocalization and aromaticity (4) Intermolecular interaction (5) Reactivity (6) Electronic excitation and UV/Vis spectrum (7) Molecular vibration and IR/Raman spectrum (8) Molecular dynamics (9) Response to external field (10) Electron ionization, affinity and accompanied process (11) Various molecular properties. We believe that our full characterization of the cyclo[18]carbon will greatly deepen researchers' understanding of this system, and thereby help them to utilize it in practice and design its various valuable derivatives.
