Dear Jibiao Li,
A late reply, but: It is not possible to "isolate" the molecule in the calculation nor in the experiment, as any photon hitting the system might cause an electronic excitation, either at the molecule or the surface, so the intensity of the spectrum would be beyond the non-resonant regime.
The crude approximation is to calculate the vibrational modes and try to correlate those with experiments - without the intensity (but maybe with the selection rules from symmetry). Next, you might try to move the atoms along the normal modes and see if you get something useful from the variation/derivative of the dipole/polarisability. But, as said, also in the experiment there could be any excitations, thus smearing the intensities.

Dear All, I learned from the maillist that pure metallic systems do not have IR and Raman active modes, thereby it's meaningless to calculated IR and Raman spectra for those systems. However, I am very much interested in molecules adsorbed on metal surfaces, is it possible to get IR and Raman spectra for molecules/metal systems through QE calculations?
