Hi Emma,

I do not know how you managed to obtain the IR spectrum from your
trajectory, but I suggest the TRAVIS program to do it:
http://www.travis-analyzer.de/
There is many ways to accomplish it, and the results are very good. Also,
there is the possibility to obtain the "normal modes" of the trajectory
which are consistent with the trajectory IR/Power spectrum.
There are some tutorials, and the program is self explaining:
https://brehm-research.de/spectroscopy.php

In the normal modes section you can feed the program with one or more
minimum energy conformer where the trajectory is projected, and
approximated normal modes are obtained.

Regards - Lucas
