We present a general method to investigate the effect of electron-phon
on coupling on the vibrational spectra of low-dimensional solids. The
method, originally developed to deal with charge transfer crystals, is
extended to conjugated polymers and to metal-halogen chains. We show
that quadratic electron-phonon coupling is essential to properly defin
e the reference state and to determine sets of transferable e-ph coupl
ing constants.
