Abstract
In the present work the bonding situation within the P4On (n = 6-10) s eries is studied using a combination of experimental and theoretical v ibrational analysis. A correlation between the spectra of the compound s is undertaken, and the shifts of the vibrational frequencies within the series are analyzed. Our study shows that the frequencies of the m ost modes involving cage motions increase, when more oxygen atoms are added to the phosphorus centers. This reflects the reinforcement of th e cage bonds along the P4On (n = 6-10) series. For a few bands the fre quencies decrease within the series, and this fact results from the re duced masses, which become larger with the increasing number of the su bstituents.
