To date, all the infrared spectra reported are experimental, mainly because of the calculations needed to study these structures are highly time-consuming. In this report we address for the first time the infrared spectrum calculation of PCBM with Cs symmetry by using the PW91/dnp level as implemented in the Dmol3 code. In this calculation we have found two intense peaks in the IR spectrum, that agree fairly with the 1187 and 1787 cm^-1 measured experimentally.展开更多
