Abstract

The vibrations of planar A₃B type molecules with D_3h symmetry are analysed, by treating these molecules as a special case of A₂BC types with C_2v 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.
