Ab initio calculations in a harmonic approximation of absorption band absolute intensities in infrared spectra were carried out for 3 hydrocarbons and 14 halogenated hydrocarbons. The calculated data were compared with experimental values of the absolute absorption intensities. It is shown that a Hartree–Fock calculation method overestimates significantly (by an average of 66%) the integrated absolute intensities of the fundamental bands in the region 575–4000 cm–1. The deviation is reduced to 32% in the case of the MP2 method of accounting for electron correlations. Most of the overestimation occurs for bands corresponding to vibrations involving halogen atoms.
