Abstract
High-throughput approaches for producing approximate vibrational spectral data for molecules of astrochemistry interest rely on harmonic frequency calculations using computational quantum chemistry. However, model chemistry recommendations (i.e., a level of theory and basis set pair) for these calculations are not yet available and, thus, thorough benchmarking against comprehensive benchmark databases is needed. Here, we present a new database for vibrational frequency calculations (VIBFREQ1295) storing 1295 experimental fundamental frequencies and CCSD(T)(F12*)/cc-pVDZ-F12 ab initio harmonic frequencies from 141 molecules. VIBFREQ1295's experimental data was complied through a comprehensive review of contemporary experimental data, while the ab initio data was computed here. The chemical space spanned by the molecules chosen is considered in-depth and is shown to have good representation of common organic functional groups and vibrational modes. Scaling factors are routinely used to approximate the effect of anharmonicity and convert computed harmonic frequencies to predicted fundamental frequencies. With our experimental and high-level ab initio data, we find that a single global uniform scaling factor of 0.9617(3) results in median differences of 15.9(5) cm-1. A far superior performance with a median difference of 7.5(5) cm-1 can be obtained, however, by using separate scaling factors (SFs) for three regions: frequencies less than 1000 cm-1 (SF = 0.987(1)), between 1000 and 2000 cm-1 (SF = 0.9727(6)), and above 2000 cm-1 (SF = 0.9564(4)). This sets a lower bound for the performance that could be reliably obtained using scaling of harmonic frequency calculations to predict experimental fundamental frequencies. VIBFREQ1295's most important purpose is to provide a robust database for benchmarking the performance of any vibrational frequency calculations. VIBFREQ1295 data could also be used to train machine-learning models for the prediction of vibrational spectra and as a reference and data starting point for more detailed spectroscopic modeling of particular molecules. The database can be found as part of the Supporting Information for this paper or in the Harvard DataVerse at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/VLVNU7.

Abstract
Accurate calculation of ab initio potential energy surfaces (PESs) for the NH3 molecule is a difficult task because of the poor convergence of the standard CCSD(T) method with respect to the basis size. Currently, the best available NH3 PESs contain empirically refined parameters. In this paper, we show that CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pCV6Z calculations are not sufficient to properly describe the PES over a large range of nuclear configurations. However, the PES obtained by the extrapolation of the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pCVXZ (X = T, Q, 5, and 6) energies to the complete basis set limit is closer to that based on the explicitly correlated CCSD(T)-F12a method using the cc-pCVQZ-F12 orbital basis set. All of the ab initio PESs constructed in this work include the following corrections: one electron relativistic effects, diagonal Born-Oppenheimer correction, and high-order electronic correlations (CCSDT, CCSDTQ, and CCSDTQP). Finally, the root-mean-square deviation between the predicted band centers obtained from our final "pure" ab initio PES and the experimental ones in the spectral region [0-7000] cm-1 is divided by two compared to the most accurate ab initio PES available in the literature.

Abstract
The infrared spectra of the C-H stretching vibrations of (pyridine)m, m = 1-3, and the N-H stretching vibrations of (pyridine)m-(NH3)n, m = 1, 2; n = 1-4, complexes were investigated by infrared (IR)-vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectroscopy under jet-cooled conditions. The ionization potential (IP0) of the pyridine monomer was determined to be 74 546 cm-1 (9.242 eV), while its complexes showed only smooth curves of the ionization thresholds at ∼9 eV, indicating large structural changes in the ionic form. The pyridine monomer exhibits five main features with several satellite bands in the C-H stretching region at 3000-3200 cm-1. Anharmonic calculations including Fermi-resonance were carried out to analyze the candidates of the overtone and combination bands which can couple to the C-H stretching fundamentals. For (pyridine)2 and (pyridine)3, most C-H bands are blue-shifted by 3-5 cm-1 from those of the monomer. The structures revealed by random searching algorithms with density functional methods indicate that the π-stacked structure is most stable for (pyridine)2, while (pyridine)3 prefers the structures stabilized by dipole-dipole and C-Hπ interactions. For the (pyridine)m-(NH3)n complexes, the mass spectrum exhibited a wide range distribution of the complexes. The observed IR spectra in the N-H stretching vibrations of the complexes showed four main bands in the 3200-3450 cm-1 region. These features are very similar to those of (NH3)n complexes, and the bands are assigned to the anti-symmetric N-H stretching band (ν3), the symmetric N-H stretching (ν1) band, and the first overtone bands of the N-H bending vibrations (2ν4). The anharmonic calculations including the Fermi-resonance between ν1 and 2ν4 well reproduced the observed spectra.

Abstract
Nuclear vibrational theories based upon the Watson Hamiltonian are ubiquitous in quantum chemistry, but are generally unable to model systems in which the wavefunction can delocalise over multiple energy minima, i.e. molecules that have low-energy torsion and inversion barriers. In a 2019 Chemical Reviews article, Puzzarini et al. note that a common workaround is to simply decouple these problematic modes from all other vibrations in the system during anharmonic frequency calculations. They also point out that this approximation can be "ill-suited", but do not quantify the errors introduced. In this work, we present the first systematic investigation into how separating out or constraining torsion and inversion vibrations within potential energy surface (PES) expansions affects the accuracy of computed fundamental wavenumbers for the remaining vibrational modes, using a test set of 19 tetratomic molecules for which high quality analytic potential energy surfaces and fully-coupled anharmonic reference fundamental frequencies are available. We find that the most effective and efficient strategy is to remove the mode in question from the PES expansion entirely. This introduces errors of up to +10 cm-1 in stretching fundamentals that would otherwise couple to the dropped mode, and ±5 cm-1 in all other fundamentals. These errors are approximately commensurate with, but not necessarily additional to, errors due to the choice of electronic structure model used in constructing spectroscopically accurate PES.

Abstract
The vibrational predissociation (VP) dynamics of the phenol-water (PhOH-H2O) dimer were studied by detecting H2O fragments and using velocity map imaging (VMI) to infer the internal energy distributions of PhOH cofragments, pair-correlated with selected rotational levels of the H2O fragments. Following infrared (IR) laser excitation of the hydrogen-bonded OH stretch fundamental of PhOH (Pathway 1) or the asymmetric OH stretch localized on H2O (Pathway 2), dissociation to H2O + PhOH was observed. H2O fragments were monitored state-selectively by using 2+1 Resonance-Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization (REMPI) combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS). VMI of H2O in selected rotational levels was used to derive center-of-mass (c.m.) translational energy (ET) distributions. The pair-correlated internal energy distributions of the PhOH cofragments derived via Pathway 1 were well described by a statistical prior distribution. On the other hand, the corresponding distributions obtained via Pathway 2 show a propensity to populate higher-energy rovibrational levels of PhOH than expected from a statistical distribution and agree better with an energy-gap model. The REMPI spectra of the H2O fragments from both pathways could be fit by Boltzmann plots truncated at the maximum allowed energy, with a higher temperature for Pathway 2 than that for Pathway 1. We conclude that the VP dynamics depends on the OH stretch level initially excited.

Abstract
15NH3 is the object of extensive investigation due to the central role of ammonia in astronomical sciences and to the complexity of modeling its interacting vibrationally excited states. Of major interest in astrochemistry is the determination of the 14N/15N ratio in space, characterized by unexpected variability among different solar system objects and reservoirs. Recently, the spectroscopic analysis of ground and v2 = 1 a, s states of 15NH3 has been completed at experimental accuracy. Here, the characterization of the a, s inversion symmetry levels of v2 = 1, 2 and v4 = 1 states is presented. New spectra of 15NH3 have been recorded from 325 to 2000 cm-1 at a resolution ranging from 0.00096 cm-1 to 0.003 cm-1, using the Canadian Light Source synchrotron at CLS. 7518 transitions covering nine bands, ν2, 2ν2, ν4, 2ν2 ← ν2, ν4 ← ν2, 2ν2 ↔ ν4 and the inversion-rotation transitions in the excited states, have been fitted simultaneously. The effective Hamiltonian adopted includes all symmetry allowed interactions between and within the studied excited states, according to the most recent results on ammonia. The transitions have been reproduced at experimental accuracy using 185 spectroscopic parameters, determined with high precision. The leading diagonal parameters, Gv, B, C, D's, compare well with those of 14NH3. The wavenumbers of the assigned transitions are compared with their theoretically predicted values. An improved set of ground state parameters is also derived. These results noticeably improve the wavenumber line list in the high-resolution transmission molecular absorption (HITRAN) database.

Abstract
On a recent analytical potential energy surface developed by two of the authors, an exhaustive kinetics study, using variational transition state theory with multidimensional tunneling effect, and dynamics study, using both quasi-classical trajectory and full-dimensional quantum scattering methods, was carried out to understand the reactivity of the NH(3) + H → NH(2) + H(2) gas-phase reaction. Initial state-selected time-dependent wave packet calculations using a full-dimensional model were performed, where the total reaction probabilities were calculated for the initial ground vibrational state and for four excited vibrational states of ammonia. Thermal rate constants were calculated for the temperature range 200-2000 K using the three methods and compared with available experimental data. We found that (a) the total reaction probabilities are very small, (b) the symmetric and asymmetric N-H stretch excitations enhance the reactivity, (c) the quantum-mechanical calculated thermal rate constants are about one order of magnitude smaller than the transition state theory results, which reproduce the experimental evidence, and (d) quasi-classical trajectory calculations, which were performed with the main goal of analyzing the influence of the zero-point energy problem on the final dynamics results, reproduce the quantum scattering calculations on the same surface.

Abstract
Infrared spectra of the NH stretching vibrations of (NH3)n clusters (n = 2-4) have been obtained using the helium droplet isolation technique and first principles electronic structure anharmonic calculations. The measured spectra exhibit well-resolved bands, which have been assigned to the nu1, nu3, and 2nu4 modes of the ammonia fragments in the clusters. The formation of a hydrogen bond in ammonia dimers leads to an increase of the infrared intensity by about a factor of 4. In the larger clusters the infrared intensity per hydrogen bond is close to that found in dimers and approaches the value in the NH3 crystal. The intensity of the 2nu4 overtone band in the trimer and tetramer increases by a factor of 10 relative to that in the monomer and dimer, and is comparable to the intensity of the nu1 and nu3 fundamental bands in larger clusters. This indicates the onset of the strong anharmonic coupling of the 2nu4 and nu1 modes in larger clusters. The experimental assignments are compared to the ones obtained from first principles electronic structure anharmonic calculations for the dimer and trimer clusters. The anharmonic calculations were performed at the Møller-Plesset (MP2) level of electronic structure theory and were based on a second-order perturbative evaluation of rovibrational parameters and their effects on the vibrational spectra and average structures. In general, there is excellent (<20 cm(-1)) agreement between the experimentally measured band origins for the N-H stretching frequencies and the calculated anharmonic vibrational frequencies. However, the calculations were found to overestimate the infrared intensities in clusters by about a factor of 4.

Abstract
We have measured the vibrational spectra of large ammonia (NH3)n clusters by photofragment spectroscopy in the spectral range from 3150 to 3450 cm(-1) for the average sizes n = 29, 80, 212, 447, and 989 and by depletion spectroscopy for n=8. The spectra are dominated by peaks around 3385 cm(-1) which are attributed to the asymmetric nu3 NH-stretch mode. Two further peaks between 3200 and 3260 cm(-1) have about equal intensity for n = 8 and 29, but only about 0.40 of the intensity of the nu3 peak for the larger sizes. The spectra for the smallest and largest size agree with those obtained by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in slit jet expansion and collision cells, respectively. By accompanying calculation we demonstrate that the energetic order of the spectral features originating from the bending overtone 2nu4 and the symmetric NH-stretch nu1 in the range from 3150 to 3450 cm(-1) is changed between n = 10 and 100, while the asymmetric NH-stretch nu3 only exhibits a moderate redshift. The reason is the coupling of the ground state modes to the overtones.

Abstract
Helium droplet technique has been used in order to measure the strength of the infrared absorption in small ammonia and water clusters as a function of size. Hydrogen bonding in ammonia and water dimers causes an enhancement of the intensity of the hydrogen stretching bands by a factor of four and three, respectively. Two types of the hydrogen bonded clusters show different size dependence of the infrared intensity per hydrogen bond. In ammonia (NH3)2 and (NH3)3 it is close to the crystal value. In water clusters, it increases monotonically with cluster size being in tetramers, a factor of two smaller than in the ice. The measured infrared intensity in water clusters is found to be a factor of two to three smaller as compared to the results of numerical calculations.

Abstract
A high-resolution Fourier transform infrared spectrum of the nu(5) bending vibrational band system region of the partially deuterated ammonia molecule NH(2)D has been measured and rotationally analyzed. The spectrum consists of strong a-type transitions between the states of same vibrational symmetry and weaker c-type transitions between the states of different vibrational symmetry. The Hamiltonian model used includes interaction terms between the rotational states of both upper and lower inversion doublets. The vibrational term values for the symmetric and the antisymmetric component of the upper-inversion doublet are 1,605.637 965(620) cm(-1) and 1,590.993 82(100) cm(-1), respectively, where the numbers in parentheses are one-standard deviations in the least significant digit. These figures are close to the corresponding values 1,605.62 cm(-1) and 1,590.72 cm(-1) obtained recently from results based on high-level ab initio calculations. The order of the vibrational term values is abnormal in the ammonia family, as typically the symmetric state is lower in wavenumber than the antisymmetric one.

Abstract
We used multiconfiguration quasidegenerate perturbation theory and the fourfold-way direct diabatization scheme to calculate ab initio potential-energy surfaces at 3600 nuclear geometries of NH3. The calculations yield the adiabatic and diabatic potential-energy surfaces for the ground and first electronically excited singlet states and also the diabatic coupling surfaces. The diabatic surfaces and coupling were fitted analytically to functional forms to obtain a permutationally invariant 2 x 2 diabatic potential-energy matrix. An analytic representation of the adiabatic potential-energy surfaces is then obtained by diagonalizing the diabatic potential-energy matrix. The analytic representation of the surfaces gives an analytic representation of the four-dimensional conical intersection seam which is discussed in detail.

Abstract
Ab initio coupled cluster calculations with single and double substitutions and a perturbative treatment of connected triple excitations [CCSD(T)] with the augmented correlation-consistent polarized valence triple-zeta aug-cc-pVTZ basis at 51 816 geometries provide a six-dimensional potential-energy surface for the electronic ground state of NH3. At 3814 selected geometries, CBS+ energies are obtained by extrapolating the CCSD(T) results for the aug-cc-pVXZ(X=T,Q,5) basis sets to the complete basis set (CBS) limit and adding corrections for core-valence correlation and relativistic effects. CBS** ab initio energies are generated at 51,816 geometries by an empirical extrapolation of the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ results to the CBS+ limit. They cover the energy region up to 20,000 cm-1 above equilibrium. Parametrized analytical functions are fitted through the ab initio points. For these analytical surfaces, vibrational term values and transition moments are calculated by means of a variational program employing a kinetic-energy operator expressed in the Eckart-Sayvetz frame. Comparisons against experiment are used to assess the quality of the generated potential-energy surfaces. A "spectroscopic" potential-energy surface of NH3 is determined by a slight empirical adjustment of the ab initio potential to the experimental vibrational term values. Variational calculations on this refined surface yield rms deviations from experiment of 0.8 cm-1 for 24 inversion splittings and 0.4 (3.0) cm-1 for 34 (51) vibrational term values up to 6100 (10,300) cm-1.

Abstract
AbstractThis paper introduces a fully symmetrized Hamiltonian formalism designed for description of vibrational motion in ammonia (and any XH3 molecule). A major feature of our approach is the introduction of complex basis vibrational wavefunctions in product form, satisfying the complex symmetry species (CSS) of the molecular symmetric top point group (D
3h). The described formalism for ammonia is an adaptation of the approach, previously developed and applied to benzene, based on the CSS of the point group D
6h. The molecular potential energy surface (PES) is presented in the form of a Taylor series expansion around the planar equilibrium state. Using the described formalism, calculations have been carried out on the vibrational overtone and combination levels in 14NH3 up to vibrational excitation energies corresponding to the fourth N-H stretch overtone. The results from the calculations are adjusted to experimentally measured data, in order to determine the values of the harmonic and some anharmonic force constants of the molecular PES.

Abstract
We have observed fully rotationally resolved transitions of the photoelectron vibrational bands 2(4), 2(5), 1(1)2(1), and 1(1)2(3) for ammonia cation (NH3+) by two-color infrared (IR)-vacuum ultraviolet (VUV)- pulsed field-ionization photoelectron (PFI-PE) measurements. By preparing an intermediate rovibrational state of neutral NH(3) with a known parity by IR excitation followed by VUV-PFI-PE measurements, we show that the photoelectron parity can be determined unambiguously. The IR-VUV-PFI-PE measurement of the 2(4) band clearly reveals the formation of both even and odd l states for the photoelectrons, where l is the orbital angular momentum quantum number. This observation is consistent with the conclusion that the lack of inversion symmetry for NH3 and NH3+ allows odd/even l mixings, rendering the production of both odd and even l states for the photoelectrons. Evidence is also found, indicating that the photoionization transitions with DeltaK=0 are strongly favored compared to that with DeltaK=3. For the 2(5), 1(1)2(1), and 1(1)2(3) bands, only DeltaK=0 transitions for the production of even l photoelectron states from the J'K'=2(0) rotational level of NH3(nu1=1) are observed. The preferential formation of even l photoelectron states for these vibrational bands is attributed to the fact that the DeltaK=0 transitions for the formation of odd l photoelectron states from the 2(0) rotational level of NH3(nu1=1) are suppressed by the constraint of nuclear-spin statistics. In addition to information obtained on the photoionization dynamics of NH3, this experiment also provides a more precise value of 3232+/-10 cm-1 for the nu1+ (N-H stretch) vibrational frequency of NH3+.

Abstract
A framework is presented for converged quantum mechanical calculations on large amplitude dynamics in polyatomic hydrides (XH(n)) based on a relatively simple, but computationally tractable, "particles-on-a-sphere" (POS) model for the intramolecular motion of the light atoms. The model assumes independent two-dimensional (2D) angular motion of H atoms imbedded on the surface of a sphere with an arbitrary interatomic angular potential. This assumption permits systematic evolution from "free rotor" to "tunneling" to "quasi-rigid" polyatomic molecule behavior for small, but finite, values of total angular momentum J. This work focuses on simple triatom (n=2) and tetratom (n=3) systems as a function of interatomic potential stiffness, with explicit consideration of H2O, NH3, and H3O+ as limiting test cases. The POS model also establishes the necessary mathematical groundwork for calculations on dynamically much more challenging XH(n) species with n>3 (e.g., models of CH5+) where such a reduced dimensionality approach offers prospects for being quantum mechanically tractable at low J values (i.e., J=0, 1, 2) characteristic of supersonic jet expansion conditions.

Abstract
We report theoretical values for the transition moments of an extensive set of vibrational bands in the electronic ground state of (14)NH(3). For selected bands, we have further made detailed simulations of the rotational structure. The calculations are carried out by means of recently developed computational procedures for describing the nuclear motion and are based on a high-level ab initio potential energy surface, and high-level dipole moment surfaces, for the electronic ground state of NH(3). The reported theoretical intensity values are compared to, and found to agree very well with, corresponding experimental results. It is believed that the computational method, in conjunction with high-quality ab initio potential energy and dipole moment surfaces, can simulate rotation-vibration spectra of XY(3) pyramidal molecules prior to observation with sufficient accuracy to facilitate the observation of these spectra. By degrading the accuracy of selected elements of the calculations, we have also investigated the influence of customary approximations on the computed intensity values.
