The starting point to understanding cluster properties is the putative global minimum and all the nearby local energy minima; however, locating them is computationally expensive and difficult. The relative populations and spectroscopic properties that are a function of temperature can be approximately computed by employing statistical thermodynamics. Here, we investigate entropy-driven isomers distribution on Be6B11− clusters and the effect of temperature on their infrared spectroscopy and relative populations. We identify the vibration modes possessed by the cluster that significantly contribute to the zero-point energy. A couple of steps are considered for computing the temperature-dependent relative population: First, using a genetic algorithm coupled to density functional theory, we performed an extensive and systematic exploration of the potential/free energy surface of Be6B11− clusters to locate the putative global minimum and elucidate the low-energy structures. Second, the relative populations’ temperature effects are determined by considering the thermodynamic properties and Boltzmann factors. The temperature-dependent relative populations show that the entropies and temperature are essential for determining the global minimum. We compute the temperature-dependent total infrared spectra employing the Boltzmann factor weighted sums of each isomer’s infrared spectrum and find that at finite temperature, the total infrared spectrum is composed of an admixture of infrared spectra that corresponds to the spectra of the lowest-energy structure and its isomers located at higher energies. The methodology and results describe the thermal effects in the relative population and the infrared spectra.

The far infrared spectra of four isotopic modifications of the partially orientationally ordered clathrate hydrate hexamethylenetetramine hexahydrate at 95 K are reported. The spectra are assigned to absorption allowed under the diffraction factor group, and to disorder-allowed absorption, following the theory for absorption by translational vibrations in orientationally disordered solids. Three phases formed primarily by hydrogen-bonded water molecules are known to be significantly, but only partially, orientationally ordered, hexamethylenetetramine hexahydrate, ice V, and ice VI. Of these phases, only ice VI fails to show sharp absorption in its far infrared spectrum in addition to the broad, disorder-allowed absorption.

The substitution of sulfur with selenium in benzimidazole- (bnt), benzoxazole- (bot) and benzothiazole-2-thione (btt) has been used to locate the vibrations related to the >C=S group. The thioketone bnt behaves like imidazolidine-2-thione, since it gives typical >C=S absorptions below 700 cm-1, while btt, like thiazolidine-2-thione, also gives rise to >C=S absorptions around 1000 cm-1. In bot the selenation also affects the NH modes, thus producing differences in several ranges of the infrared spectrum. The S- and Se-methiodides and the complexes obtained from these ligands with CdCl2 have been prepared and their infrared spectra compared with the free ligands; but it proves difficult to choose the site of coordination.
