Abstract
The frequencies of the optically active lattice modes of alpha oxygen, beta oxygen, the low temperature phases of CO and $N_{2}$, and other small linear molecules have been calculated from an atom-atom Lennard-Jones potential function. The method used predicts the frequency dependence with temperature of beta oxygen. In addition the degree of tilt of the $O_{2}$ molecules from the c axis of the crystal was determined throughout this temperature range. The frequencies of the low temperature phase of solid $F_{2}$ are predicted.
