Evaluation of Force Constants from Raman Effect Data. Part 1. Molecules and Radicals of the Type XY4

Abstract

The force constants of 8 radicals and 6 molecules of the type XY₄ belonging to the T_d symmetry have been calculated using Raman effect data by the Wilson's F‐G matrix method. Applying Badger's and Gordy's empirical rules, the X‐Y internuclear distances have been calculated and compared with the available observed data.
