Abstract
Optically active molecular materials, such as organic conjugated polymers and biological systems, are characterized by strong coupling between electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom. Typically, simulations must go beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation to account for non-adiabatic coupling between excited states. Indeed, non-adiabatic dynamics is commonly associated with exciton dynamics and photophysics involving charge and energy transfer, as well as exciton dissociation and charge recombination. Understanding the photoinduced dynamics in such materials is vital to providing an accurate description of exciton formation, evolution, and decay. This interdisciplinary field has matured significantly over the past decades. Formulation of new theoretical frameworks, development of more efficient and accurate computational algorithms, and evolution of high-performance computer hardware has extended these simulations to very large molecular systems with hundreds of atoms, including numerous studies of organic semiconductors and biomolecules. In this Review, we will describe recent theoretical advances including treatment of electronic decoherence in surface-hopping methods, the role of solvent effects, trivial unavoided crossings, analysis of data based on transition densities, and efficient computational implementations of these numerical methods. We also emphasize newly developed semiclassical approaches, based on the Gaussian approximation, which retain phase and width information to account for significant decoherence and interference effects while maintaining the high efficiency of surface-hopping approaches. The above developments have been employed to successfully describe photophysics in a variety of molecular materials.

Abstract
We review the frontiers of spectroscopy from a historical perspective, starting with the development of atomic spectroscopy about 150 years ago, followed by some comments on selected previous Faraday Discussions. As the spectrum of frontiers at the Faraday Discussion 150 is very broad, we give only a brief survey providing a map of the various frontiers approached today. This is followed by an exemplary discussion of one particular frontier towards the spectroscopic detection of symmetry violations in fundamental physics. In particular the understanding of parity violation in chiral molecules has recently made great progress. We briefly describe the advances made in recent decades as well as the current status of theory and experiments in this exciting field of research. We conclude with an outlook on open questions and frontiers of the future in spectroscopy.

Abstract
We review the high-resolution spectroscopic approach toward the study of intramolecular dynamics, emphasizing molecular parity violation. Theoretical work in the past decade has shown that parity-violating potentials in chiral molecules are much larger (typically one to two orders of magnitude) than anticipated on the basis of older theories. This makes experimental approaches toward small molecular parity-violating effects promising. The concepts and results of intramolecular dynamics derived from spectroscopy are analyzed as a sequence of symmetry breakings. We summarize the concepts of symmetry breakings (de facto and de lege) in view of parity violation in chiral molecules. The experimental schemes and the current status of spectroscopic experiments on molecular parity violation are established. We discuss the promises of detecting and accurately measuring parity-violating energy differences Δpv E on the order of 10−11 J mol−1 (approximately 100 aeV) in enantiomers of chiral molecules with regard to their contribution to fundamental physics in the framework of the standard model of particle physics and more speculative future fundamental symmetry tests such as for the combined charge conjugation, parity, and time-reversal (CPT) symmetry violation.

Abstract
The analysis of selected rovibrationally resolved infrared spectra of some relatively heavy and large polyatomic molecules is reviewed. A short historical summary of the development of high resolution interferometric Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers is given and the possibilities of the currently most highly resolving FTIR spectrometer, which is commercially available in the Bruker IFS 125 series, are discussed. The computational tools necessary to analyse FTIR spectra are described briefly. As examples of rovibrational analysis the spectra of three selected molecules CHCl(2)F, CDBrClF, and pyridine (C(5)H(5)N) are discussed. The spectrum of CHCl(2)F, a fluorochlorohydrocarbon, is of interest for a better understanding of the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere. CDBrClF is a chiral molecule and therefore the analysis of its rovibrational spectra provides the basis for carrying out further experiments towards the detection of molecular parity violation. The analysis of the pyridine FTIR spectra illustrates the potential of the new generation of FTIR spectrometers in the study of spectra and rovibrational dynamics of aromatic systems and molecules of potential biological interest.

Abstract
An analysis of existing algebraic multiresonance spectroscopic Hamiltonians, derived by fitting to experimental data or from classical canonical or quantum Van Vleck perturbation theory, allows without any significant further classical or quantum calculation the assignment of quantum numbers and motions to states observed in spectra that were previously thought to be irregular or just unassignable. In such cases, inspection of the amplitude and phase of eigenfunctions previously calculated in the Hamiltonians derivation process but now transformed to a reduced dimension semiclassical action-angle representation reveals extremely simple albeit unfamiliar topologies that give quantum numbers by simply counting nodes and phase advances. The topology allows these simple wave functions to be sorted into dynamically different excitation ladders or classes of states which are associated with different regions of phase space. The rungs of these ladders or the states in the classes intersperse in energy causing the spectral complexity. No experimental procedure allows such sorting. The success of the work stems from (1) the qualitative insights of nonlinear dynamics, (2) the conversion of the quantum problem in full dimension to a semiclassical one in reduced dimension by use of a canonical transform that takes advantage of the polyad and other constants of the motion, and (3) the judicious choice of the reduced angle variables to reflect rational ratio resonance frequency conditions. This leads to localization of those semiclassical wave functions, which are affected by the particular resonance. In reverse, the localized appearance of the reduced dimension wave function reveals which resonances govern it and makes sorting visually simple. The success of the work also stems from (4) the revealing use of plots of phase advances as well as the usual densities of the eigenstates for sorting and assignment purposes. Even in classically chaotic regions, organizing trajectories, which correspond to averages over regional phase space structures that need not be computed, can easily be drawn as the structure about which eigenfunction localization takes place. The organizing trajectories when transformed back to the full dimensional configuration space reveal the internal molecular motions. The complexity of the usual quantum stationary and propagated wave functions and associated classical trajectories forbids most often such assignments and sorting. This procedure brings the ability to interpret complex vibrational spectra to a degree previously thought possible only for lower excitations. The new methodology replaces and extends the computationally more difficult parts of a procedure used by the authors that was applied successfully to several molecules during the past few years. The new methodology is applied to DCO, CHBrClF, and the bending of acetylene.

Abstract
We study the intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) dynamics of an effective spectroscopic Hamiltonian describing the four coupled high frequency modes of CDBrClF. The IVR dynamics ensuing from nearly isoenergetic zeroth-order states, an edge (overtone) and an interior (combination) state, is studied from a state space diffusion perspective. A wavelet based time-frequency analysis reveals an inhomogeneous phase space due to the trapping of classical trajectories. Consequently the interior state has a smaller effective IVR dimension as compared to the edge state.

Abstract
Anharmonicity corrections to the harmonic vibrational spectra of CHFClBr and its deuterated isotopomer were computed by means of variational and perturbational approaches. A comparison of both methods is provided. Based on CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ electronic structure calculations excellent agreement with experimental data was obtained. Absolute mean deviations are in the range of about 4 cm(-1) for the fundamental modes, while slightly larger values of about 7 cm(-1) were found for the first vibrational overtones. In addition, vibrationally averaged structural parameters are provided for both molecules. The calculations will serve as a future starting point for parity-violation effects in vibrational transitions in these chiral molecules.

Abstract
We study dynamical tunneling in a near-integrable Hamiltonian with three degrees of freedom. Despite the absence of discrete symmetry we show that the mixing of near-degenerate quantum states is due to dynamical tunneling mediated by the nonlinear resonances in the classical phase space. Identifying the key resonances allows us to selectively suppress the dynamical tunneling by adding weak counter-resonant terms.

Abstract
The intramolecular hydrogen bond in the enol-acethylacetone (ACAC) is investigated by performing reduced-dimensional quantum calculations. To analyze the shared proton vibrations, two sets of coordinates were employed: normal mode coordinates describing the motion in the vicinity of the most stable configuration, and internal coordinates accounting for the double minimum proton motion. It is proved that the extreme broadness of the OH-stretch band in ACAC is a consequence of the coexistence of two enol-ACAC structures: the global minimum and the transition state for rotation of the distal methyl group. Further, a ground-state tunneling splitting of 116 cm(-1) is found, and it is shown that the inclusion of the kinematic coupling is mandatory when treating large-amplitude proton motion. In the OH-stretch direction a splitting of 853 cm(-1) was predicted.

Abstract
The present paper is devoted to a detailed study of the intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution in fluoroform initiated by a local mode excitation of the CH stretch [nnu(CH) (n=1,...,4)]. All nine internal degrees of freedom are explicitly taken into account and the full quantum mechanical simulation is performed by means of the multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree algorithm. The existence of different time scales considerably complicates the dynamics. The mode-to-mode energy transfer is analyzed by calculating the evolution of the partial energies of all vibrational modes. This study emphasizes the crucial role played by the two-dimensional FCH bending modes which act as an energy reservoir. The fast energy flow into these bending modes significantly hinders an energy flow from the CH chromophore. Finally, our results are compared with those obtained previously with the wave operator sorting algorithm approach.

Abstract
We extract the dynamics implicit in an algebraic fitted model Hamiltonian for the deuterium chromophore's vibrational motion in the molecule CDBrClF. The original model has four degrees of freedom, three positions and one representing interbond couplings. A conserved polyad allows in a semiclassical approach the reduction to three degrees of freedom. For most quantum states we can identify the underlying motion that when quantized gives the said state. Most of the classifications, identifications, and assignments are done by visual inspection of the already available wave function semiclassically transformed from the number representation to a representation on the reduced dimension toroidal configuration space corresponding to the classical action and angle variables. The concentration of the wave function density to lower dimensional subsets centered on idealized simple lower dimensional organizing structures and the behavior of the phase along such organizing centers already reveals the atomic motion. Extremely little computational work is needed.

Abstract
We introduce the topic of fundamental symmetries of physics in relation to molecular chirality by a brief review of the development and current status of the theory of parity violation in chiral molecules. We then discuss in some detail CHBrClF (bromochlorofluoromethane) as a test case, to which the work of André Collet has contributed importantly. For this molecule and its isotopomers, we report here the first detailed theoretical calculations of the influence of parity violation on statistical thermodynamic properties. High-quality ab initio calculations (RPA, random phase approximation, and CASSCF, complete-active-space self-consistent-field) were performed to determine the small energy difference between R- and S-enantiomers of H and D isotopomers of bromochlorofluoromethane (CHBrClF, CDBrClF), and fluorooxirane ((1)H(3)C(2)OF) introduced by the parity-violating weak interaction. Together with vibrational and rotational frequency shifts caused by parity violation, these were used to determine the statistical thermodynamic quantities from the corresponding partition functions within the separable harmonic and in part also anharmonic adiabatic approximation. Temperature-dependent equilibrium constants for the stereomutation were calculated and are discussed in relation to biochemical homochirality.
