Abstract

A general method has been developed for calculating intermolecular force constants for polyatomic solutes using an extension of the F-G matrix method. Vibrational frequency-shift data are used to determine a set of ``external” force constants which represent first and second derivatives of $U^{\prime}$, the potential describing solute-solvent interaction, with respect to the various internal coordinates of the solute molecule. The method will be illustrated using the vibrational frequencies of $H_{2}O$ and $D_{2}O$ dissolved in some inert solvents.
