abstract
Can computational spectroscopy predict the crystal structure of experimentally challenging systems? Once a computational model is validated, what macroscopic properties can be reliably derived from it? This review explores the potential of computational spectroscopy to address these questions by examining a few selected systems. The examples considered include inorganic cupper silicate pigment Egyptian blue, tetraalkylammonium chloride salts - key components of deep eutectic solvents - and semi-crystalline biobased furanic polyesters.
