Abstract

Minimization of the average potential energy contributions from bending deformations due to zero point vibration serves as a good criterion for fixing the harmonic force fields in planar XY 3 and tetrahedral XY 4 nonhydride molecules. An explanation based on the concept of rehybridization of the orbitals of the central atom during a bending vibration is offered.
