Vibrational spectra and molecular structural investigation of quiniodochlor

A normal coordinate analysis on quiniodochlor has been carried out with a systematic set of symmetry coordinates following Wilson's F-G Matrix method. The potential constants evaluated for the molecule are found to be in good agreement with literature values thereby confirming the vibrational assignments. To check whether the chosen set of vibrational frequencies contribute maximum to be potential energy associated with the normal coordinates of the molecule, the potential energy distribution has been evaluated.
