Abstract
In view of the competing assignments regarding the most stable isomer of the B70 boron cluster including the quasi-planar and bilayer structures, we reinvestigated the structural motifs of B70 using a genetic algorithm for structure search (MEGA) in conjunction with density functional theory computations using the PBE functional. The quasi-planar structure was also constructed using the topological leapfrog algorithm. The latter search aimed to give us unique insight into its formation and the growth pattern of boron clusters. Also, the di-anionic state of B70 was explored. Our extensive search suggested a competition between the quasi-planar, tubular and bilayer isomers for the ground state of B70 in both neutral and dianionic states. While the bilayer form is more stable in the neutral state, the quasi-planar counterpart becomes more stable in the dianionic B702-. The stability arises due to the fact that the B702- dianion possesses 50 π electrons that satisfy the disk aromaticity model rule. These results tend to extend the stabilization of the quasi-planar structure upon negative charge addition previously found in small size boron clusters to larger sizes.

Abstract
Quantum mechanical calculations are routinely used as a major support in mid-infrared (MIR) and Raman spectroscopy. In contrast, practical limitations for long time formed a barrier to developing a similar synergy between near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and computational chemistry. Recent advances in theoretical methods suitable for calculation of NIR spectra opened the pathway to modeling NIR spectra of various molecules. Accurate theoretical reproduction of NIR spectra of molecules reaching the size of long-chain fatty acids was accomplished so far. In silico NIR spectroscopy, where the spectra are calculated ab initio, provides substantial improvement in our understanding of the overtones and combination bands that overlap in staggering numbers and create complex lineshape typical for NIR spectra. This improves the comprehension of the spectral information enabling access to rich and detail molecular footprint, essential for fundamental research and useful in routine analysis by NIR spectroscopy and chemometrics. This review article summarizes the most recent accomplishments in the emerging field with examples of simulated NIR spectra of molecules reaching long-chain fatty acids and polymers. In addition to detailed NIR band assignments and new physical insights, simulated spectra enable innovative support in applications. Understanding of the difference in the performance observed between miniaturized NIR spectrometers and chemical interpretation of the chemometric models are noteworthy here. These new elements integrated into NIR spectroscopy framework enable a knowledge-based design of the analysis with comprehension of the processed chemical information.

Abstract
The ongoing miniaturization of spectrometers creates a perfect synergy with the common advantages of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, which together provide particularly significant benefits in the field of food analysis. The combination of portability and direct onsite application with high throughput and a noninvasive way of analysis is a decisive advantage in the food industry, which features a diverse production and supply chain. A miniaturized NIR analytical framework is readily applicable to combat various food safety risks, where compromised quality may result from an accidental or intentional (i.e., food fraud) origin. In this review, the characteristics of miniaturized NIR sensors are discussed in comparison to benchtop laboratory spectrometers regarding their performance, applicability, and optimization of methodology. Miniaturized NIR spectrometers remarkably increase the flexibility of analysis; however, various factors affect the performance of these devices in different analytical scenarios. Currently, it is a focused research direction to perform systematic evaluation studies of the accuracy and reliability of various miniaturized spectrometers that are based on different technologies; e.g., Fourier transform (FT)-NIR, micro-optoelectro-mechanical system (MOEMS)-based Hadamard mask, or linear variable filter (LVF) coupled with an array detector, among others. Progressing technology has been accompanied by innovative data-analysis methods integrated into the package of a micro-NIR analytical framework to improve its accuracy, reliability, and applicability. Advanced calibration methods (e.g., artificial neural networks (ANN) and nonlinear regression) directly improve the performance of miniaturized instruments in challenging analyses, and balance the accuracy of these instruments toward laboratory spectrometers. The quantum-mechanical simulation of NIR spectra reveals the wavenumber regions where the best-correlated spectral information resides and unveils the interactions of the target analyte with the surrounding matrix, ultimately enhancing the information gathered from the NIR spectra. A data-fusion framework offers a combination of spectral information from sensors that operate in different wavelength regions and enables parallelization of spectral pretreatments. This set of methods enables the intelligent design of future NIR analyses using miniaturized instruments, which is critically important for samples with a complex matrix typical of food raw material and shelf products.

Abstract
Since its identification in 2019, Covid-19 has spread to become a global pandemic. Until now, vaccination in its different forms proves to be the most effective measure to control the outbreak and lower the burden of the disease on healthcare systems. This arena has become a prime target to criminal networks that spread counterfeit Covid-19 vaccines across the supply chain mainly for profit. Counterfeit vaccines provide false sense of security to individuals, heightens the risk of exposure and outbreak of the virus, and increase the risk of harm linked to Covid-19 infection. Moreover, the increase in counterfeit vaccines feeds hesitancy towards vaccination and erodes the trust in mass immunisation programmes. It is therefore of paramount importance to work on rapid and reliable methods for vaccine authentication. Subsequently this work utilised a portable and non-destructive near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic method for authentication of Covid-19 vaccines. A total of 405 Covid-19 vaccines samples, alongside their main constituents, were measured as received through glass vials. Spectral quality and bands were inspected by considering the raw spectra of the vaccines. Authentication was explored by applying principal component analysis (PCA) to the multiplicative scatter correction-first derivative spectra. The results showed that NIR spectra of the vaccine featured mainly bands corresponding to the mRNA active ingredient. Fewer bands corresponded to the excipients and protein spectra. The vaccines NIR spectra were strongly absorbing with maximum absorbances up to 2.7 absorbance units and that differentiated them from samples containing normal saline only (constituent reported for counterfeit Covid-19 vaccines). Clustering based on PCA offered optimal authentication of Covid-19 vaccines when applied over the range of 9000–4000 cm-1These findings shed light on the potential of using NIR for analysing Covid-19 vaccines and presents a rapid and effective initial technique for Covid-19 vaccine authentication.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a valued analytical tool in various applications involving polymers. However, complex nature of NIR spectra imposes difficulties in their direct interpretation. Here, anharmonic quantum chemical calculations are used to simulate NIR spectra of nine polymers; acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVAC), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polylactide or polylactic acid (PLA), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyoxymethylene (POM), polystyrene (PS) and polyvinylchloride (PVC). The generalized spectra-structure correlations are derived for these systems with focus given to the manifestation in NIR spectra of aromatic ring, C=O, C≡N and C-Cl functionalities. It is concluded that the nature of NIR polymer bands is only moderately sensitive to the remote chemical neighborhood. The majority of NIR absorption of polymers originates from binary combination bands, while the first overtones are meaningful only in ca. 6200-5500 cm-1 region. The contribution of the overtone bands is relatively higher for the polymers bearing aromatic rings because of higher intensity of C-H stretching overtones. Highly characteristic combination bands of the modes localized in aromatic ring (ring deformation and CH stretching) are relatively independent on the remaining structure of the polymer. The combination bands originating from C=O group are more sensitive to the chemical neighborhood in near proximity, forming a useful fingerprint for a specific polymer. In contrast, the vibrational bands of C≡N functionality are far less useful in NIR region than in infrared (IR) region. With aid of the calculated absorption bands, structural specificity of NIR spectroscopy of polymers can be markedly improved.

Abstract
Mid-infrared (MIR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectra of crystalline menadione (vitamin K3) were measured and analyzed with aid of quantum chemical calculations. The calculations were carried out using the harmonic approach for the periodic model of crystal lattice and the anharmonic DVPT2 calculations applied for the single molecule model. The theoretical spectra accurately reconstructed the experimental ones permitting for reliable assignment of the MIR and NIR bands. For the first time, a detailed analysis of the NIR spectrum of a molecular system based on a naphthoquinone moiety was performed to elucidate the relationship between the chemical structure of menadione and the origin of the overtones and combination bands. In addition, the importance of these bands during interpretation of the MIR spectrum was demonstrated. The overtones and combination bands contribute to 46.4% of the total intensity of menadione in the range of 3600-2600 cm-1. Evidently, these bands play a key role in shaping of the C-H stretching region of MIR spectrum. We have shown also that the spectral regions without fundamentals may provide valuable structural information. For example, the theoretical calculations reliably reconstructed numerous overtones and combination bands in the 4000-3600 and 2800-1800 cm-1 ranges. These results, provide a comprehensive origin of the fundamentals, overtones and combination bands in the NIR and MIR spectra of menadione, and the relationship of these spectral features with the molecular structure.

Abstract
Anharmonic quantum chemical calculations were employed to simulate and interpret a near-infrared (NIR) spectrum of caffeine. First and second overtones, as well as binary and ternary combination bands, were obtained, accurately reproducing the lineshape of the experimental spectrum in the region of 10,000–4000 cm−1 (1000–2500 nm). The calculations enabled performing a detailed analysis of NIR spectra of caffeine, including weak bands due to the second overtones and ternary combinations. A highly convoluted nature of NIR spectrum of caffeine was unveiled, with numerous overlapping bands found beneath the observed spectral lineshape. To properly reflect that intrinsic complexity, the band assignments were provided in the form of heat maps presenting the contributions to the NIR spectrum from various kinds of vibrational transitions. These contributions were also quantitatively assessed in terms of the integral intensities. It was found that the combination bands provide the decisively dominant contributions to the NIR spectrum of caffeine. The first overtones gain significant importance between 6500–5500 cm−1, while the second overtones are meaningful in the higher wavenumber regions, particularly in the 10,000–7000 cm−1 region. The obtained detailed band assignments enabled deep interpretation of the absorption regions of caffeine identified in the literature as meaningful for analytical applications of NIR spectroscopy focused on quantitative analysis of caffeine content in drugs and natural products.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to demonstrate advances, challenges and perspectives of quantum chemical approaches in molecular spectroscopy of the condensed phase. Molecular spectroscopy, particularly vibrational spectroscopy and electronic spectroscopy, has been used extensively for a wide range of areas of chemical sciences and materials science as well as nano- and biosciences because it provides valuable information about structure, functions, and reactions of molecules. In the meantime, quantum chemical approaches play crucial roles in the spectral analysis. They also yield important knowledge about molecular and electronic structures as well as electronic transitions. The combination of spectroscopic approaches and quantum chemical calculations is a powerful tool for science, in general. Thus, our article, which treats various spectroscopy and quantum chemical approaches, should have strong implications in the wider scientific community. This review covers a wide area of molecular spectroscopy from far-ultraviolet (FUV, 120-200 nm) to far-infrared (FIR, 400-10 cm-1)/terahertz and Raman spectroscopy. As quantum chemical approaches, we introduce several anharmonic approaches such as vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF) and the combination of periodic harmonic calculations with anharmonic corrections based on finite models, grid-based techniques like the Numerov approach, the Cartesian coordinate tensor transfer (CCT) method, Symmetry-Adapted Cluster Configuration-Interaction (SAC-CI), and the ZINDO (Semi-empirical calculations at Zerner's Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap). One can use anharmonic approaches and grid-based approaches for both infrared (IR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, while CCT methods are employed for Raman, Raman optical activity (ROA), FIR/terahertz and low-frequency Raman spectroscopy. Therefore, this review overviews cross relations between molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemical approaches, and provides various kinds of close-reality advanced spectral simulation for condensed phases.

Abstract
The present review aims to draw a perspective on the vibrational spectroscopy combined with the tools of computational chemistry. This includes an overview of the accomplishments made so far, the assessment of the present development trends and the prospects for continuing these advances. State-of-the-art methods, current challenges and the expected future advances are evaluated from the point-of-view of the practical application in vibrational spectroscopy. A special attention is given to near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, which occupies a distinct position among the techniques of vibrational spectroscopy. As the result of intrinsically complex spectra, reliance on the anharmonicity as well as keen interest given to complex materials, NIR spectroscopy may particularly benefit from computational chemistry. The present key limitations hindering development of NIR spectroscopy are identified; these constitute primarily the limit in the treatable system size and the inability to effectively include chemical matrix effects. Given the expanding role of NIR spectroscopy in science and industry, lifting these limitations would directly enhance the general potential of this technique.

Abstract
We propose the concept of local acidity in condensed-phase chemistry in this work. The feature is demonstrated in trifluoroethanol (TFE) by employing two Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) nitrile probes, acetonitrile (CH3CN) and benzonitrile (PhCN). Specifically, three positive excess peaks were found in the binary systems composed of TFE and a probe using excess spectroscopy. To characterize the local acidity quantitatively, we have tried to correlate the wavenumbers of the positive excess peaks of the probes and the pKa values in water of a series of XH-containing compounds (X = O, N, and C). Good linear relationships were discovered. Accordingly, three different pKa values of TFE were determined based on the three positive excess infrared peaks, which are attributed to the monomer, dimer, and trimer of TFE with the help of quantum-chemical calculations. The concept of local acidity and its quantitative evaluation enrich our knowledge of acid-base chemistry and will shed light on a better understanding of microstructures of solutions.

Abstract
Near-infrared (near-IR; NIR) spectroscopy is continuously advancing in biophysical and biochemical fields of investigation. For instance, recent progresses in NIR hyperspectral imaging of biological systems may be noted. However, interpretation of NIR bands for biological samples is difficult and creates a considerable barrier in exploring the full potential of NIR spectroscopy in bioscience. For this reason, we carried out a systematic study of NIR spectra of adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine in polycrystalline state. Interpretation of NIR spectra of these nucleobases was supported by anharmonic vibrational analysis using Deperturbed Vibrational Second-Order Perturbation Theory (DVPT2). A number of molecular models of nucleobases was applied to study the effect of the inter-molecular interactions on the NIR spectra. The accuracy of simulated NIR spectra appears to depend on the intra-layer interactions; in contrast, the inter-layer interactions are less influential. The best results were achieved by combining the simulated spectra of monomers and dimers. It is of particular note that in-plane deformation bands are far more populated than out-of-plane ones and the importance of ring modes is relatively small. This trend is in contrast to that observed in mid-IR region. As shown, the local, short-range chemical neighborhood of nucleobase molecules influence their NIR spectra more considerably. This suggests that NIR spectra are more sensitive probe of the nucleobase pairing than mid-IR ones. The obtained results allow, for the first time, to construct a frequency correlation table for NIR spectra of purines and pyrimidines.

Abstract
Vibrational excitation using frequency-tunable IR laser light has been developed as a powerful tool for selective manipulation of molecular conformations. In this methodology, vibrational excitation has been typically applied to the first stretching overtones (∼80 kJ mol-1) but also to the fundamental modes (∼40 kJ mol-1). Here, we demonstrate that selective conformational isomerizations are also achieved using excitation to second stretching overtones (∼120 kJ mol-1). The extremely weak absorptions of the second stretching overtones of molecules isolated in low-temperature matrices were measured for the first time; here using three prototype molecules: hydroxyacetone (HA), glycolic acid (GAc) and glycolamide (GAm). Benchmarking of computed anharmonic IR spectra showed that the B3LYP/SNSD method provides the best agreement with experimental frequencies of the ν(OH), 2ν(OH) and 3ν(OH) modes for the studied molecules in argon matrices. Selective irradiation at the 3ν(OH) frequencies (9850-10 500 cm-1) of HA, GAc and GAm monomers in argon matrices at 15 K successfully triggers their conformational isomerization. These results open the door to extend control over conformations separated by higher barriers and to induce other transformations not energetically accessible by excitation to the fundamental or first stretching overtone modes.

Systematic discovery about NIR spectral assignment from chemical structural property to natural chemical compounds. Sci Rep 2019; 9:9503.

Abstract
Spectra-structure interrelationship is still the weakness of NIR spectral assignment. In this paper, a comprehensive investigation from chemical structural property to natural chemical compounds was carried out for NIR spectral assignment. Surprisingly, we discovered that NIR absorption frequency of the skeleton structure with sp2 hybridization is higher than one with sp3 hybridization. Specifically, substituent was another vital factor to be explored, the first theory discovery demonstrated that the absorption intensity of methyl substituted benzene at 2330 nm has a linear relationship with the number of substituted methyl C-H. The greater the number of electrons given to the substituents, the larger the displacement distance of absorption bands is. In addition, the steric hindrance caused by the substituent could regularly reduce the intensity of NIR absorption bands. Furthermore, the characteristic bands and group attribution of 29 natural chemical compounds from 4 types have been systematic assigned. These meaningful discoveries provide guidance for NIR spectral assignment from chemical structural property to natural chemical compounds.

Abstract
The effect of isotopic substitution on near-infrared (NIR) spectra has not been studied in detail. With an exception of few major bands, it is difficult to follow the spectral changes due to complexity of NIR spectra. Recent progress in anharmonic quantum mechanical calculations allows for accurate reconstruction of NIR spectra. Taking this opportunity, we carried out a systematic study of NIR spectra of six isotopomers of ethanol (CX3CX2OX; X = H, D). Besides, we calculated the theoretical spectra of two other isotopomers (CH3CD2OD and CD3CH2OD) for which the experimental spectra are not available. The anharmonic calculations were based on generalized vibrational second-order perturbation theory (GVPT2) at DFT and MP2 levels with several basis sets. We compared the accuracy and efficiency of various computational methods. It appears that the best results were obtained with B2PLYP-GD3BJ/def2-TZVP//CPCM approach. Our simulations included the first and second overtones, as well as binary and ternary combinations bands. This way, we reliably reproduced even minor bands in the spectra of diluted samples (0.1 M in CCl4). On this basis, the effect of isotopic substitution on NIR spectra of ethanol was accurately reproduced and comprehensively explained.

Distinct Difference in Sensitivity of NIR vs. IR Bands of Melamine to Inter-Molecular Interactions with Impact on Analytical Spectroscopy Explained by Anharmonic Quantum Mechanical Study. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24071402. [PMID: 30974741 PMCID: PMC6479474 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24071402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2019] [Revised: 04/05/2019] [Accepted: 04/07/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Melamine (IUPAC: 1,3,5-Triazine-2,4,6-triamine) attracts high attention in analytical vibrational spectroscopy due to its misuse as a food adulterant. Vibrational spectroscopy [infrared (IR) and Raman and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy] is a major quality control tool in the detection and quantification of melamine content. The physical background for the measured spectra is not interpreted in analytical spectroscopy using chemometrics. In contrast, quantum mechanical calculations are capable of providing deep and independent insights therein. So far, the NIR region of crystalline melamine has not been studied by quantum mechanical calculations, while the investigations of its IR spectra have remained limited. In the present work, we employed fully anharmonic calculation of the NIR spectrum of melamine based on finite models, and also performed IR spectral simulation by using an infinite crystal model—periodic in three dimensions. This yielded detailed and unambiguous NIR band assignments and revised the previously known IR band assignments. We found that the out-of-plane fundamental transitions, which are essential in the IR region, are markedly more sensitive to out-of-plane inter-molecular interactions of melamine than NIR transitions. Proper description of the chemical surrounding of the molecule of melamine is more important than the anharmonicity of its vibrations. In contrast, the NIR bands mostly arise from in-plane vibrations, and remain surprisingly insensitive to the chemical environment. These findings explain previous observations that were reported in IR and NIR analytical studies of melamine.

Abstract
Near-infrared (12,500–4,000 cm−1; 800–2,500 nm) spectroscopy is the hallmark for one of the most rapidly advancing analytical techniques over the last few decades. Although it is mainly recognized as an analytical tool, near-infrared spectroscopy has also contributed significantly to physical chemistry, e.g., by delivering invaluable data on the anharmonic nature of molecular vibrations or peculiarities of intermolecular interactions. In all these contexts, a major barrier in the form of an intrinsic complexity of near-infrared spectra has been encountered. A large number of overlapping vibrational contributions influenced by anharmonic effects create complex patterns of spectral dependencies, in many cases hindering our comprehension of near-infrared spectra. Quantum mechanical calculations commonly serve as a major support to infrared and Raman studies; conversely, near-infrared spectroscopy has long been hindered in this regard due to practical limitations. Advances in anharmonic theories in hyphenation with ever-growing computer technology have enabled feasible theoretical near-infrared spectroscopy in recent times. Accordingly, a growing number of quantum mechanical investigations aimed at near-infrared region has been witnessed. The present review article summarizes these most recent accomplishments in the emerging field. Applications of generalized approaches, such as vibrational self-consistent field and vibrational second order perturbation theories as well as their derivatives, and dense grid-based studies of vibrational potential, are overviewed. Basic and applied studies are discussed, with special attention paid to the ones which aim at improving analytical spectroscopy. A remarkable potential arises from the growing applicability of anharmonic computations to solving the problems which arise in both basic and analytical near-infrared spectroscopy. This review highlights an increased value of quantum mechanical calculations to near-infrared spectroscopy in relation to other kinds of vibrational spectroscopy.

Abstract
The frequencies and absorption intensities of the five kinds of conformers of 1,3-butanediol with the same carbon skeleton (GG') were calculated by anharmonic calculation for the fundamentals and first overtones of OH stretching vibrations. The four kinds of conformers form intramolecular hydrogen bonds and one conformer did not. Intramolecular hydrogen bond formation shifted the frequency of fundamental and first overtone of H-bonding OH stretching vibration to the lower frequency. The absorption intensities of the fundamentals as well as the vibrational anharmonicities increased upon hydrogen bond formation, while the intensities of first overtones decreased. The differences of conformers were clearly seen in the frequencies of the first overtones of free OH.

Abstract
We investigated near-infrared (7500-4000 cm-1) spectra of n-hexanol, cyclohexanol and phenol in CCl4 (0.2 M) by using anharmonic quantum calculations. These molecules represent three major kinds of alcohols; linear and cyclic aliphatic, and aromatic ones. Vibrational second-order perturbation theory (VPT2) was employed to calculate the first overtones and binary combination modes and to reproduce the experimental NIR spectra. The level of conformational flexibility of these three alcohols varies from one stable conformer of phenol through four conformers of cyclohexanol to few hundreds conformers in the case of n-hexanol. To take into account the most relevant conformational population of n-hexanol, a systematic conformational search was performed. Accurate reproduction of the experimental NIR spectra was achieved and detailed spectra-structure correlations were obtained for these three alcohols. VPT2 approach provides less reliable description of highly anharmonic modes, i.e. OH stretching. In the present work this limitation was manifested in erroneous results yielded by VPT2 for 2νOH mode of cyclohexanol. To study the anharmonicity of this mode we solved the corresponding time-independent Schrödinger equation based on a dense-grid probing of the relevant vibrational potential. These results allowed for significant improvement of the agreement between the calculated and experimental 2νOH band of cyclohexanol. Various important biomolecules include similar structural units to the systems investigated here. A detailed knowledge on spectral properties of these three types of alcohols is therefore essential for advancing our understanding of NIR spectroscopy of biomolecules.

Abstract
Even-odd alternation of the melting points of α,ω-disubstituted linear alkanes such as alkane-α,ω-diols, alkane-α,ω-dinitriles and α,ω-diaminoalkanes is well known. Melting points for compounds with an even number of carbons in their alkyl chains are systematically higher than those for compounds with an odd number of carbons. In order to clarify the origin of this alternation, near-infrared absorption spectra of linear alkane-α,ω-diols with 3 to 9 carbon atoms in their alkyl chains were measured in the liquid and solid states. The band due to the first overtone of the OH stretching mode was investigated. The temperature-dependent spectra of all alkane-α,ω-diols in their liquid states were found to be similar; no even-odd alternation was observed. In the solid state, however, spectra of alkane-α,ω-diols with even and odd numbers of carbon atoms differed greatly. Spectra of alkane-α,ω-diols with an odd number of carbon atoms in their solid states were similar to those in the liquid states, although the variation of spectra observed upon lowering the temperature of liquid seemed to continue when the liquids were frozen. In contrast, spectra of alkane-α,ω-diols with an even number of carbon atoms in their liquid and solid states were found to be quite different. New bands appeared upon freezing. The observed even-odd alternation of the spectra observed for alkane-α,ω-diols in their solid states is presumably caused by their even-odd alternation of crystal structures.

This article provides a summary of the plenary lecture given at ICNIRS2017 at Copenhagen, Denmark. In principle, near infrared spectroscopy enjoys increasing popularity due to its possibilities for non-invasive, fast, and simultaneous analysis of chemical and physical parameters. Therefore, more frequently in laboratories, time-consuming classical methods including wet-chemical analysis, chromatography, electrophoresis, etc., get substituted by near infrared spectroscopy approaches. On the other hand, hardly any other discipline in analytical chemistry is making such fast technical and theoretical advancements. One of the major challenges is the development of portable devices based on micro-electro mechanical systems or linear variable filters. It belongs to the responsibility of the near infrared spectroscopist to critically evaluate the performance of those with benchtop instruments. For method development, design of experiment and quantum chemical calculation of spectra can give fundamental support. Finally, serious care is to be taken when methods are transferred into the industrial environment.

Abstract
Quantum chemical reproduction of entire NIR spectra is a new trend, enabled by contemporary advances in the anharmonic approaches. At the same time, recent increase of the importance of NIR spectroscopy of biological samples raises high demand for gaining deeper understanding of NIR spectra of biomolecules, i.e. fatty acids. In this work we investigate saturated and unsaturated medium-chain fatty acids, hexanoic acid and sorbic acid, in the near-infrared region. By employing fully anharmonic density functional theory (DFT) calculations we reproduce the experimental NIR spectra of these systems, including the highly specific spectral features corresponding to the dimerization of fatty acids. Broad range of concentration levels from 5·10-4M in CCl4 to pure samples are investigated. The major role of cyclic dimers can be evidenced for the vast majority of these samples. A highly specific NIR feature of fatty acids, the elevation of spectral baseline around 6500-4000cm-1, is being explained by the contributions of combination bands resulting from the vibrations of hydrogen-bonded OH groups in the cyclic dimers. Based on the high agreement between the calculated and experimental NIR spectra, a detailed NIR band assignments are proposed for hexanoic acid and sorbic acid. Subsequently, the correlations between the structure and NIR spectra are elucidated, emphasizing the regions in which clear and universal traces of specific bands corresponding to saturated and unsaturated alkyl chains can be established, thus demonstrating the wavenumber regions highly valuable for structural identifications.
