Abstract

Using the Wilson FG matrix method and force $constants^{1}$ transferred from previous work on $CBr_{3}$ H, it was possible to get agreement within 3 percent between the calculated and observed values of the three type-A' fundamental frequencies of $CHClBr_{2}$. After modifying only two of the F matrix elements, the agreement was improved to 0.8 percent for both $CHClBr_{2}$ and $CDClBr_{2}$. The six type-A' frequencies also were calculated for $CHClBr_{2}$ using modified F matrix elements based on force $constants^{1,2}$ transferred from $CBr_{3}H, CBr_{3}D, CCl_{3}H$, and $CCl_{3}D$; and the calculated and observed values agreed to within 1.8 percent. Calculation of the A' frequencies of $CDClBr_{2}$ is in progress, using the same F matrix elements that were used for $CHClBr_{2}$, in order to determine how well these F matrix elements will reproduce the $CDClBr_{2}$ frequencies.
