Lattice dynamics studies are important for the proper characterization of materials, since these studies provide information on the structure and chemistry of materials via their vibrational properties. These studies are complementary to structural characterization, usually by means of electron, neutron, or X-ray diffraction measurements. In particular, Raman scattering and infrared absorption measurements are very powerful, and are the most common and easy techniques to obtain information on the vibrational modes at the Brillouin zone center. Unfortunately, many materials, like most minerals, cannot be obtained in a single crystal form, and one cannot play with the different scattering geometries in order to make a complete characterization of the Raman scattering tensor of the material. For this reason, the vibrational properties of many materials, some of them known for millennia, are poorly known even under room conditions. In this paper, we show that, although it seems contradictory, the combination of experimental and theoretical studies, like Raman scattering experiments conducted at high pressure and ab initio calculations, is of great help to obtain information on the vibrational properties of materials at different pressures, including at room pressure. The present paper does not include new experimental or computational results. Its focus is on stressing the importance of combined experimental and computational approaches to understand materials properties. For this purpose, we show examples of materials already studied in different fields, including some hot topic areas such as phase change materials, thermoelectric materials, topological insulators, and new subjects as metavalent bonding.

The intramolecular C–H insertion of the Mes*-substituted phosphanylidenecarbene [Mes*P=C:] (Mes* = 2,4,6-t-Bu3C6H2) and physicochemical properties of the cyclized product, 6,8-di-tert-butyl-3,4-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-1-phosphanaphthalene were studied based on ab initio calculations. Whereas the alternative Fritsch–Buttenberg–Wiechell-type rearrangement requires almost no activation energy, the intramolecular cyclization needs an activation energy of 12.3 kcal/mol at the MP2(full)/6-31G(d) condition. DFT calculations supported that the optimized structure of the cyclization product of Mes*P=C: suggests remarkable conjugation effects between the nearly coplanar P=C skeleton and the aryl moiety.

The effect of N-substitution on the hydrogen bonds of metal ion/water/amide complexes is studied on Li+/N-methylformamide-water as an example. Using the energies and Mulliken atomic populations derived from ab initio calculations with minimal GLO basis set, the Li+/Nmethyl formamide-water and Li+/formamide-water complexes are compared. The transference of the effect of metal ions along the molecular structure seems to have a profound relationship to the bond polarizabilities of the backbone atoms. This can be discussed qualitatively in terms of changes in the Mulliken atomic publications.

Theoretical studies on DyOM@Cxy (M = Lu and Sc, xy = 72, 76(1–4) and 82) clusters encapsulating six EMFs suggest relaxation via the first excited state in most of the DyOLu@Cxy (except DyOLu@C82) and via the fourth excited state in all the DyOSc@Cxy EMFs with extremely large Ucal values.
