| Abstract: | The paper describes methods for determining the force fields of large sets of molecules which share the common property that
in their constituent groups of molecules the equivalent force constants always change monotonically with the properties of
substituent atoms belonging to the same subgroup of the periodic table. The force fields of the CH4−nXn (n=0–4, X=F, Cl, Br, I) molecules of the methane series are obtained. The applications of these force fields are discussed.
In particular, they can serve as a basis for a data bank of the force fields of fragments suitable for constructing the force
fields of more complex molecules.
