Abstract
An efficient finite difference procedure is described for calculating anharmonic normal-coordinate force constants from quantum-chemical analytic second derivatives. Displacements along normal coordinates are used to generate those cubic and quartic force constants which are needed in a second-order perturbation treatment of anharmonicity. The anharmonic force field of methyl bromide is predicted, and the calculated spectroscopic constants compared with experimental data.
