Abstract

Abstract A normal coordinate analysis for the cage-like molecules α-P4S4, As4S4 and As4Se4 is performed, based on a simple initial force field with three numerical parameters and valence coordinates including redundancies. The force field is refined by adjusting the symmetry force constants to fit the observed frequencies. The final force field, potential energy distribution (PED), mean amplitudes of vibration and the standard thermodynamic functions from spectroscopic data are also given for the title compounds.
