Local Mode Theory

Local Mode Theory is a theoretical framework in molecular spectroscopy that models vibrational excitations as localized oscillations within specific chemical bonds or functional groups, thereby distinguishing itself from normal mode theory by emphasizing bond-localized rather than delocalized, system-wide vibrational behavior.
