Abstract
Abstract Analysis of both classical and quantum calculations on LiNC and LiCN shows the onset of vibrational chaos is closely associated with the degree of bending excitation. Conversely quasiperiodic stretching states persist above the barrier to isomerization. Classical studies on O 3 give similar results. In the light of these results we re-interpret the high-energy vibrational data on O 3 and HCN and suggest that the observed regular stretching states probably are embedded in the chaotic region. We discuss the importance of mode coupling by the potential.
