  • Beschreibung: The time-independent eigenstate-free Raman wavefunction approach for calculating anharmonic vibronic spectra has been extended for the calculation of Herzberg–Teller contributions on the basis of an n-mode expansion of the transition electric dipole moment surface. This allows for the efficient simulation of Franck–Condon dark vibronic spectra. In addition, vibrational angular momentum terms have been implemented into this formalism, as they are important for an accurate description of vibrational wavefunctions spanning double-well potentials. This approach has been used to compute the FC-forbidden vibronic spectrum of the n → π* transition of formaldehyde based on a potential energy and transition dipole moment surfaces obtained from explicitly correlated multi-reference configuration interaction calculations. An extensive analysis of the resulting vibronic structure is provided, which allows for a detailed assignment and interpretation of the experimental spectrum.
