Abstract
The effect of small structural distortions in lifting the degeneracies of vibrational modes of molecular clusters is studied by a novel firs t-order perturbation method. Molecules containing the oxo-centred tetr ametal cluster M(4)O are used as a model. The results agree well with a correlation between infra-red spectroscopic and X-ray crystallograph ic data for a set of complexes containing the oxo-centered tetracopper (II) cluster.
