The harmonic calculation gives good estimates (compared to DFT ones) for all the frequencies except for an OH stretching band, involved in an internal hydrogen bond. Even the distance suggests that such interaction is not correctly predicted (compared to DFT). The .key file that I am using is the following: digits 8 verbose debug parameters amoebabio18.prm bondtype morse Has someone experienced similar problems? Any suggestions or tips are welcome. Thanks, Fabio
