				  Quantum-Chemistry Centered Normal Coordinate Analysis (QCC-NCA) 
  
				  
				
    
				Model [Fe(P)(MI)(NO)] has only C1 symmetry and hence, 
				about 18000 individual force constants  
				
    
				This is impossible to solve for conventional Normal Coordinate Analysis (NCA)  
				
    
				QCC-NCA: use DFT calculated force field as initial guess  
				
    
				Subdivide system into core (Fe-NO unit) and frame (porphyrin, MI)  
				
    
				Refine only selected force constants to reproduce the vibrations of the core  
				
    
				We have developed software to routinely perform these calculations
