Computational models for kaolinite nano-particles (Generations 1-3) and their comprehensive FTIR spectra

<p>The dataset contains a large number of computational models and detailed spectral comparison, fitting, and deconvolution of a large set of FTIR data for crystalline and exfoliation kaolinite, nano-kaolinite and halloysite, nano-halloysite samples.<br> The <strong>G1.xyz</strong>, <strong>G2.xyz</strong>, and <strong>G3.xyz</strong> files contain the initial structures for the first three generations of nano-kaolinite molecules.<br> The compressed folder&nbsp;<strong>SVP-def2TZVP.zip</strong> contains the structural information relevant for comparing and contrasting the performance a double-zeta (SVP) and triple-zeta (TZVP) basis sets.<br> The <strong>edge_protonation.zip</strong> folder guides the reader through the stepwise evaluation of various edge protonation models and shows the final converged results.<br> The <strong>full_optimization.zip</strong> folder summarizes&nbsp;the stationary structure calculations at various levels of theory carried out for the G2 model.<br> &nbsp;</p>
