Abstract

From the vibrational spectra of metal carbonyls we can determine the frequencies of most of the fundamental vibrations. From this information the molecular force constants can be calculated provided a suitable potential function is adopted. In this paper it is shown how our knowledge of the electronic structure of the carbonyls can be used to derive relations among some of the interaction force constants. These relations reduce a general quadratic valence force field to a solvable potential function which is suitable for the class of molecule under consideration.
