The spectroscopic properties of As4S4 with pressure have been computed by the quantum mechanical XP-PCM method and by density functional theory periodic calculations. The comparison has allowed the interpretation of the available experimental data. By comparison of the two methods and with experiments, we show that the XP-PCM method is able to reproduce the same behavior of the periodic calculations with much lower computational cost allowing to be adopted as a first choice computational tool for a qualitative interpretation of molecular crystals properties under pressure.

Abstract
The spectroscopic properties of As4S4 with pressure have been computed by the quantum mechanical XP-PCM method and by density functional theory periodic calculations. The comparison has allowed the interpretation of the available experimental data. By comparison of the two methods and with experiments, we show that the XP-PCM method is able to reproduce the same behavior of the periodic calculations with much lower computational cost allowing to be adopted as a first choice computational tool for a qualitative interpretation of molecular crystals properties under pressure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
