Abstract
A simple vibrational Hamiltonian expressed in terms of curvilinear internal coordinates has been used to model both stretching and bending vibrations in pyramidal XH3 molecules. The pure stretching part is expressed as harmonically coupled anharmonic oscillators and the pure bending part as harmonically coupled harmonic oscillators. The stretching and the bending modes are coupled with each other by Fermi resonance terms which contain contributions both from the kinetic and potential energy part of the full vibrational Hamiltonian. Only resonance couplings are included. The Hamiltonian matrices are symmetry factorized by employing symmetrized basis functions which consist of products of stretching oscillator and valence angle bending oscillator functions. This model is applied to observed vibrational term value data of arsine (AsH3). The least squares method is used to optimize potential energy parameters. The results obtained are in good agreement with ab initio calculations. All observed arsine overtone and combination bands have been assigned.
