Cw. Bauschlicher, THE EFFECT OF AN ELECTRIC-FIELD ON THE VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY OF CN, International journal of quantum chemistry, 61(5), 1997, pp. 859-863
Ab initio calculations are used to compute the change in the vibration
al frequency of CN with an applied electric field aligned parallel to
the bond axis. The effect of the field on the CN- vibrational frequenc
y is of the same magnitude as for CN, but in the opposite direction. T
hese results are compared to previous results for CO. (C) 1997 John Wi
