Abstract

Ohwada's effective nuclear charge model has been extended to the calculation of valence force constants for XY6 (Oh) molecules. To achieve this the potential energy function has had to be expressed in terms of independent force constants for which it has been necessary to eliminate the gem- and tree-redundancies that exist between the displacement coordinates. The vibration frequencies predicted by the use of these constants agree well in general with experimental observations.
