Abstract

QVibeplot is a software program that automatically generates twodimensional visualizations of molecular vibrations. The representations show the changes of bond lengths, angles, and torsions occurring upon a vibration. This is consistent with the experimentalist's understanding of molecular vibrations that makes a distinction between stretching and deformation modes. Twodimensionality is achieved by basing the representation on a skeletal formula of the molecule. The program also displays the spectrum and the list of frequencies. The phase and amplitude are indicated as well, providing a comprehensive visualization of molecular vibrations. The software is available online as a free and open-source software.
