18. There is a simple procedure for scaling the raw calculated values (Martin, J.M.L.; El-Yazal, J.; Francois, J.-P. J. Phys. Chem. 1996, 100, 15358-15367) that accounts for anharmonicities provided that no strong Fermi resonances exist. We use ratios of computed to experimental frequencies of anthracene and phenanthrene as the desired scaling factors and report that they cluster in three groups: an average ratio of 0.956 for the C-H stretches; an estimated ratio of 0.973 for the in-plane bends; and an average ratio of 0.987 for the low-frequency in-plane vibrations. These scaling factors are then applied to the raw calculated frequencies of other molecules.
