Abstract

The bending of a nearly linear molecule can be described by a two dimensional harmonic oscillator well, perturbed either by a $Lorentzian^{1}$ or by a $Gaussian^{2}$ hump. Both models give essentially the same result. In the present work the theory has been applied to the calculation of $\Delta G's, \alpha's$ and $D_{K}'s$ of excited electronic states of HCN and HCP and also of the ground state of $H_{2}O$.
