CUBIC AND QUARTIC ANHARMONIC POTENTIAL FUNCTIONS FOR OCTAHEDRAL $XY_{6}$ MOLECULES
Publisher:
Ohio State UniversityAbstract:
Cubic and quartic anharmonic potential functions for $XY_{6}$ molecules of $O_{h}$ symmetry have been derived, by means of group theory, explicitly in terms of normal coordinates. These results will be useful in calculations of vibration rotation energies for analyses of very high resolution spectra of hexafluoride molecules. Techniques for the formulation of these potential functions will be described. The cubic potential function, containing 22 terms, and the quartic potential function, containing 92 terms, will be presented.
