Molecular dynamics; molecular constants

A physical understanding of the nature of the force constants and kinetic constants in molecules leads to a stringent application of the provisions of the group theoretical techniques introduced by Wilson in the study of molecular vibrations. This procedure is applied here to the evaluation of force constants and the mean amplitudes of eighteen tetrahedral XY₄ molecules with highly satisfactory results.
