Abstract
Abstract The cage-like molecules β-P4S5 , As4 S5 , P4S7 and As2P2S7 are all supposed to have C2v -symmetry. A normal coordinate analysis was performed for those molecules, based on a very simple initial force field with three numerical parameters and valence coordinates including redundancies. A complete set of symmetry coordinates is given. The force field was refined by adjusting the symmetry force constants to fit exactly a set of observed frequencies. This was used to calculate the mean amplitudes of vibration and perpendicular amplitude correction coefficients. The standard thermodynamical values derived from spectroscopic data are also given. A set of frequencies was calculated for the so far unknown compound P4S6 .
