Instantaneous vibrational analysis (IVA) is proposed for computing the infrared spectrum of dynamically fluctuating system, and applied to a water molecule encapsulated into fullerene (H2O@C-60). A molecular dynamics simulation is first carried out to generate an ensemble of configurations averaging the rotational and translational motion of H2O inside fullerene. At each configuration, instantaneous vibrational frequencies of the water molecule are computed by the vibrational configuration interaction method, which are then employed to construct the line-shape of the spectrum. The vibrational spectrum in the OH stretching region is computed at a temperature of 10 and 100 K based on a direct potential energy surface incorporating the electronic structure theory. It is found that the vibrational frequency of the symmetric stretching mode is blue-shifted compared to that of isolated water, whereas that of the asymmetric stretching mode exhibits no shift in average. The relation between IVA and instantaneous normal mode analysis is presented, and their performances are compared. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem 109: 2080-2090,2009
