ANHARMONIC POTENTIAL FUNCTIONS OF POLYATOMIC MOLECULES.

Abstract

A summary is given of a study which involved the experimental examination vibrational-rotational spectra at very high resolution and the calculation of anharmonic force constants from the spectroscopic data. Accomplishments included the development of computer techniques by which anharmonic force constants could be adjusted to observed spectroscopic data, and the application of these techniques to studies of the anharmonicity in HCN, acetylene, SO2, H2O, N2O, and several other molecules.
