N2 - A geometry optimization and vibrational frequency calculation has been carried out on the Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 (phen = 1,10 phenantroline) molecule in both spin states (S = 0 and S = 2) using the density functional theory (DFT) method with the B3LYP functional and the 6-31G(d) basis set. The frequency shifts upon 54Fe- 57Fe and 14N-15N isotope substitutions have been calculated and compared with the experimental frequency shifts as well as with calculated data (DFT/BP86) published in the literature. In the low frequency region (100-600 cm-1), both DFT methods reproduce correctly the measured isotope shifts. The accuracy of the calculated vibrational entropy change upon the spin crossover (SCO) is lower: reasonable errors (∼10%) of the calculated frequencies lead to a relatively large error (∼50%) of the total entropy change.
