Abstract
Despite the voluminous literature on the spectra of diatomic molecules, there are many gaps in our knowledge of their ground-state vibrational frequencies. For many important diatomic molecules, only values obtained in matrix isolation experiments are available. In order to assess the likely extent of deviation of the ground-state vibrational fundamentals of diatomic molecules observed in rare-gas and nitrogen matrices from the gas-phase values, a systematic comparison has been made between gas-phase and matrix frequencies. The dependence of matrix shifts on the matrix material, type of chemical bond, and position of the elements in the Periodic Table will be considered for the approximately 225 pairs of observations which have been reported.
