Terms involving Majorana operators are nondiagonal, but their matrix elements can be simply constructed using the formulas discussed in the preceding sections. The total number of parameters to this order is 15 in addition to the vibron numbers, N and N2- This has to be compared with 4 for the first-order Hamiltonian (4.91). For XY2 molecules, some of the parameters are equal, Xi,i = X2,2 XU2 = X2,12, Y112 = Y2 U, A] = A2, reducing the total number to 11 plus the vibron number N = Aj = N2. Calculation of vibrational spectra of linear triatomic molecules with second-order Hamiltonians produce results with accuracies of the order of 1-5 cm-1. An example is shown in Table 4.8. 

Recoupling coefficients are important in computing matrix elements of operators. Consider, for example, the C operators defined, for triatomic molecules, in Eq. (4.68). For three bonds (tetratomic molecules) one has... 

The matrix elements of the operator Ml2 are easy to construct since they are identical to those already encountered in triatomic molecules [Eq. (4.70)]. The corresponding secular equation can be diagonalized, yielding the results shown in Figure 5.5. The main effect of the Majorana term is splitting of the degenerate C-H stretching modes into g and u species, as in the previous triatomic case, Section 4.5. 

Infrared intensities (IR) in polyatomic molecules can be calculated in the same way as in diatomic or triatomic molecules. One introduces a bond dipole operator tj with matrix elements given by Eq. (2.62), which we now rewrite as... 

The triatomic molecule allotrope of oxygen was discovered in 1839 by Schonbein who detected it from its smell and thus named it ozone (o eiv ozein emitting a smell). The nature of the molecule was established in 1865 by Soret. Thenard discovered hydrogen peroxide in 1818. Water was known as an Element, from Thales of Milet ( 600 B. C.) to the time of Cavendish... 

Kanada, a Nyaya-Vaisheshika philosopher, who lived -600 BCE, considered that matter was composed of four types of atoms, earth, fire, air, and water. Atoms reacted with the aid of an invisible force (adrsta) to form biatomic molecules and triatomic molecules (6-8). He stated that there were five elements earth, fire, air, water, and space. Each atom also had qualities such as odor, taste, color and a sense of touch (S). 

Gas A is composed of diatomic molecules (two atoms per molecule) of a pure element. Gas B is composed of triatomic molecules (three atoms per molecule) of another pure element. A volume of gas B is found to be three times more massive than an equal volume of gas A. How does the mass of an atom of gas B compare with the mass of an atom of gas A ...

In this chapter we discuss only the scalar aspect of rotational excitation, i.e., the forces which promote rotational excitation and how they show up in the final state distributions. The simple model of a triatomic molecule with total angular momentum J = 0, outlined in Section 3.2, is adequate for this purpose without concealing the main dynamical effects with too many indices and angular momentum coupling elements. The vector properties and some more involved topics will be discussed in Chapter 11. 

Combination of the 13 most important main group elements (H, B, C, Si, N, P, O, S, F, Cl, Br, I, Xe) allows the construction of 1638 triatomic molecules, of which 1183 are linear and 455 are cyclic. With rather few exceptions such as Sil2, most of them are already known61. The novel triatomic molecule can be prepared in analogy to other dihalogensilylenes10,16 by the reaction of especially purified, white crystalline SU4 with elemental silicon (Figure 20). 

In particular, ifz = r3j and z2 = r32 (in which case det[c] 3 = 1), the volume element for a bent triatomic molecule in bond-angle coordinates is obtained as... 

Give the formulas of two diatomic molecules, a triatomic molecule, and two more complex molecules. Label each formula as being either the formula of an element or of a compound. 

Diatomic molecules containing atoms of different elements (for example, HCl, CO, and NO) have dipole moments and are called polar molecules. Diatomic molecules containing atoms of the same element (for example, H2, O2, and F2) are examples of nonpolar molecules because they do not have dipole moments. For a molecule made up of three or more atoms both the polarity of the bonds and the molecular geometry determine whether there is a dipole moment. Even if polar bonds are present, the molecule will not necessarily have a dipole moment. Carbon dioxide (CO2), for example, is a triatomic molecule, so its geometry is either linear or bent ... 

Kong s periodic systems of diatomic and triatomic molecules (Kong 1982, 1989) are truly beautiM. They are the silver lining of the dark cloud of his long-term house arrest related to the Cultural Revolution in the People s Republic of China. His systems place molecules in the compartments of a flat chart with approximately the same shape as the chart of the elements. The period and group numbers are the sums of the atoms period and group numbers. 

The SAU collaboration system has an ad hoc theoretical formulation. An originating atomic chart is considered as a two-subscript null matrix it is formed by replacing appropriate zeros of the matrix by symbols of the elements. The outer product of this matrix with itself is taken once to create the periodic system for diatomic molecules, twice for triatomic molecules (acyclic or cyclic), and so on. The result is a four, six, or more subscript matrix for those molecules. 

In the latest version of the code MULTIMODE [26] n can vary from 1 to 6. Having the option of a varying n-mode representation of the potential is very useful because it permits a systematic way to increase the accuracy of the calculation and also to monitor the convergence of results with respect to n. An important point to be made about the n-mode representation is that it does place hmitations on the space of excitations in both MP2 theory and VT theory. To see this, consider the 2-mode representation of the potential and for simplicity for a triatomic molecule. General matrix elements of the potential are given by... 

As a final note on numerical aspects in the three-dimensional model, we mention the availability of a complete set of computer routines for the calculation of rotational spectra and rovibrational interactions for triatomic molecules. These routines are quite complex because they must deal with matrix elements of the operators introduced in Section IV.D. In short, the practical calculations of rovibrational spectra of triatomic molecules can be rather demanding from a purely computational point of view, because of the large, complex matrices necessary to account for highly excited rotational states.
