Table 1.
Optimal absolute (s abs) and relative (s rel) harmonic frequency scaling factors were determined for the listed quantum‐chemical approximations with Equations 4 and 5, respectively. aRMSD denotes the values of the absolute root‐mean‐square deviations (Equation 2) computed for the dataset sets of frequencies with the corresponding scale factors.
