  1. *τ, torsion; ω, wagging; sc, scissoring; ν, stretching; νa, anti-symmetric stretching; νs, symmetric stretching; δ, bending; tw, twisting; wag, wagging; ρ, rocking. br, breathing.
  2. **Scaled frequencies (0.957×) improve agreement with experimental data. Modes involving C = S (e.g., 701 cm− 1) show larger deviations due to crystal packing effects.
