Evaluation of Force Constants from Raman Effect Data. Part 1. Molecules and Radicals of the Type <i>XY</i>4

Abstract

The force constants of 8 radicals and 6 molecules of the type XY4 belonging to the Td 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.
