We report anharmonic spectra calculated for formaldehyde in acetonitrile solution using the quartic force field obtained for various DFT/solvent coupled models. A statistical study has been carried out for each mode by using several classes of DFT functionals and comparing them to the reference ab‐initio CCSD(T)/cc‐pVQZ calculations. Results lead to the recommended use of hybrid functionals associated with the 6‐31+G** basis set and the Polarized Continuum model (PCM) to predict the expected shifts relative to the gas phase. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
