Vibrational Intensities in F2CO: Some Corrections

Abstract

A number of errors in earlier reports of the infrared intensities of F₂CO and their interpretation have been discovered and corrected in the present paper. The earlier values of ∂p/∂S_i calculated using the CNDO/2 approximate quantum mechanical treatment have been corrected, and the previous results extended so that the calculated bond moments can be compared with the experimental values, similarly corrected. These results are now much more closely in agreement with chemical intuition that the earlier results implied.
