Abstract

The vibrations of planar A B type molecules with D 3 3h symmetry are analysed, by treating these molecules as a special case of A2BC types with C2v symmetry. Analytical expressions for the four normal mode frequencies are derived in terms of four force constants, and optimized values of the latter for the boron trihalides and sulphur trioxide are obtained and briefly discussed. Frequencies of various isotopic species are also calculated.
