Intramolecular dynamics. I. Curvilinear normal modes, local modes, molecular anharmonic Hamiltonian, and application to benzene
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Hamiltonian based on curvilinear normal modes and local modes (CNLM) is discussed using Wilson’s exact vibrational Hamiltonian as basis, the CNLM representation diagonalizing only the normal mode block of FG matrix in curvilinear internal coordinates. Using CNLM the kinetic and potential energy operators for benzene are given, including cubic and quartic anharmonicity in the potential energy and cubic and quartic terms in the kinetic energy expansion in curvilinear coordinates. Using symmetrized coordinates and cubic and higher force constants the number and identity of the independent symmetry allowed (A ,g ) such force constants are obtained. The relation to conventional anharmonic force constants is then given and the allowed contributions of the latter are obtained. The results are applied to CH overtone spectra and intramolecular vibrational dynamics in Part III of this series.

Bending dynamics of acetylene: new modes born in bifurcations of normal modes.
Semiclassical techniques are used to analyze highly excited pure bending vibrational dynamics from spectra of C2H2. An analytic bifurcation approach is developed, based on critical points of a classical version of the quantum fitting Hamiltonian. At high energy four new types of anharmonic modes are born in bifurcations of the normal modes: local, orthogonal, precessional, and counter-rotator. ...
متن کاملIntramolecular dynamics. Ill. Theoretical studies of the CH overtone spectra for benzene
The CH overtone spectra for UCH= 1, 2, and 3 for an intermediate sized molecule, benzene, and the related intramolecular vibrational dynamics are treated theoretically. For this purpose, an artificial intelligence (AI) search technique is employed, using the evaluation function developed in Part II. The curvilinear local-normal mode coordinate system discussed in Part I is also used. The main f...
متن کاملThe dance of molecules: new dynamical perspectives on highly excited molecular vibrations.
At low energies, molecular vibrational motion is described by the normal modes model. This model breaks down at higher energy, with strong coupling between normal modes and onset of chaotic dynamics. New anharmonic modes are born in bifurcations, or branchings of the normal modes. Knowledge of these new modes is obtained through the window of frequency-domain spectroscopy, using techniques of n...
متن کاملChanges of Vibrational Lifetimes with Minor Structural Modification of Small Polyatomic Molecules
With the help of ultrashort laser pulses it has been possible to measure directly the population Lifetime of welldefined vrbrational modes of polyatomrc molecules in the liquid state. For a number of molecules the populatron decay was found to be of the order of picoseconds [l-l]. Special attention was pard to CH-stretching modes whrch are of considerable unportance for the radiatronless decay ...

Consider a linear autonomous Hamiltonian system with m time periodic bound state solutions. In this paper we study their dynamics under time almost periodic perturbations which are small, localized and Hamiltonian. The analysis proceeds through a reduction of the original infinite dimensional dynamical system to the dynamics of two coupled subsystems: a dominant m-dimensional system of ordinary...
