Tables of molecular vibrational frequencies

Abstract

Fundamental vibrational frequencies of 109 molecular forms of 38 polyatomic chain molecules consisting of the CH3, CD3, CH2 CD2, CHD, O, and S groups are given as an extension of tables of molecular vibrational frequencies published in the NSRDS-NBS publication series and in this journal. On preparing the tables in this part, an approach, different from that in the previous parts, based on the calculations of normal vibration frequencies was adopted. A set of force constants which explains all the frequencies of small molecules for which the assignments had been established was obtained and then the frequencies of larger molecules was calculated and compared with the frequencies observed in the infrared and Raman spectra. The tables provide a convenient source of information for those who require vibrational energy levels and related properties in molecular spectroscopy, thermodynamics, analytical chemistry, and other fields of physics and chemistry.
