Molecular dynamics of germylacetylene

A complete vibrational analysis has been carried out for germylacetylene and germylacetylene-d₃ molecules and a set of molecular constants, i.e. kinetic constants and potential constants, is reported. The physical understanding of the nature of the potential constants and kinetic constants in molecules leads to a stringent application of provisions of group theoretical technique, introduced by Wilson in the study of molecular vibrations. This procedure is applied here to the evaluation of mean amplitudes of vibration. Coriolis coupling constants and centrifugal distortion constants of these cases, with highly satisfactory results. The values of Coriolis coupling constants and centrifugal distortion constants are in good agreement with the observed values for the germylacetylene molecule showing the significance of the procedure adopted in the present study.
