A procedure for decomposing a molecular force field into its (1)electronic kinetic and (2) electronic and nuclear potential components is developed. By applying this procedure to the triatomic species X20, HCN, CS2, CQ2, S02, 0 3 , SeO2, ClO2, BO2-, H2S, H20, H2Se, ClCN, OCS, GeF2, NCO-, OFz, and NO2, a set of structural rules regarding the signs of various T and V components of the Born-Oppenheimer potential is obtained. The signs of the equilibrium values of aT/aO, d2Vla02, a2VjdRa0, a2V/8R1dR2, a3VlaR2ao, d3T/aRa02, d3V/aRldR2a0, aTIdR, a2VlaR2, and a3T/aR3 are shown to be generally negative, while the signs of the respective derivatives of the other components are positive. A discussion of the physical significance of the rules is given, and the decomposition procedure is used to assess the virtues and defects of three recently proposed model functions.

I. Introduction As witnessed by the number of recent review articles which deal with the ~ u b j e c t , l -the ~ determination of molecular force fields including cubic and often quartic force constants has become an area of considerable research activity. There are now in the literature cubic or quartic force fields of varying degrees of accuracy for nearly 20 triatomic specie^,^-^^ and several more ambitious studies have been reported .24-26 Given the difficulty and expense of determining accurate potential surfaces from ab-initio computations,27 these "experimental" force fields remain a primary source of information concerning the interactions between atoms in molecules. The determination and interpretation of these fields is a formidable task, however, which has Led several investigators to propose simple model potential fonrtions.~~x-36 These models provide ad-

ditional physical content for the empirically determined force constants, and may eventually lead to the construction of model potentials for molecules about which there is little or no experimental data. In section Il of this paper we demonstrate that by employing the polyatomic quantum-mechanical virial theorem in the form derived by Nelaiider,37 one may rigorously decompose a molecular force field into i t s kinetic and potential components (the components due (1) to the electronic kinetic energy and (2) the electron-nuclear, electron-electron, and nuclear-nuclear electrostatic interactions, respectively). Since no physical model, empirical rule, or approximate wave function is employed, the resulting kinetic ( T ) and potential (V) constants may be regarded as "experimental," subject only to the errors involved in the determination of the force constants.

By inspecting the T and V fields of a number of triatomic molecules, we have discovered several relationships of apparently general validity, which describe the way T and V contribute to certain force constants; these are given in section 111. These rules may prove useful in assessing the reliability of experimental force fields or of computed potential surfaces, but more importantly, they allow for an increased understanding of the "whys" of bonding and structure; for example, we show that in essentially all cases the kinetic energy tends to open the bond angles of bent triatomics, while the potential tends to close the angles. Further, the experimental T and V fields may be employed to analyze physical models of force fields. In section IV we use this approach to assess the virtues and defects of three recently proposed model functions.

cal dispersions, we have treated the dispersions (when available) as errors, and carried them through the calculations. The final "uncertainties" are not quantitatively correct, but they do suggest which derivative values are meaningful and which are not. Some results are presented in Tables I-VII.

111. Structural Rules An inspection of Tables I-VI1 reveals a number of rules regarding the signs and magnitudes of various T and V derivatives. I . I n bent triatomics t h e kinetic component of the Born-Qppenheimer energy favors larger angles while the potential component favors smaller angles (dT/M < 0, a v i d 0 > 0). This rule is rather surprising, as it attributes the same type of energetics to diverse molecules such as SO2 and HzO; nevertheless, it is well supported by the data. Nine of the ten molecules listed in Table I obey the rule, and the uncertainties in the force constants of the

8. Individual bond stretches follow the same pattern as in diatomics: dTIdR1 < 0, dV/dR1 > 0; d2T/dR12 > 0, iY2V/aRi2 < 0; d37j/dRi3 < 0, d3VlaR13 0; \dnT/aR1ni 2 I dnV/dRln1. This rule is, of course, not surprising. It is

in accord with earlier observations16 and values for particular derivatives are available from the authors. Attempts to obtain a structural rule for d3/dR12dRz derivatives failed, as the data are scattered and expected uncertainties are quke large. The structural rules proposed here should not, of course, be accepted as “final.” It is quite possible that new and improved data could modify some of the conclusions, and that molecules with unusual bonding patterns may he exceptions. Nevertheless, we believe that the proposed rules are baskally correct, and that they will apply t o the great majority of triatomic molecules.

An exact model force field will automatically predict :proper values for derivatives of T and V. If, however, a model is employed which does not predict all force constants precisely, then one may decompose the model force field into its kinetic and potential components to determine which terms are being treated accurately and which are not. In the following we report the results of such analyses of three model functions. A . The Parr-Brown Model. Parr and Br0wn~8.2~ have proposed that a. Born-Oppenheimer potential function of the form

They used this function to study COz, CS2, OCS, HCN, CICN, and N20. Both the original and modified functions yielded force constants in reasonable agreement with experimental values. By inspecting the T and V derivatives obtained from the original Parr-Brown potential function for COZ, OCS, HCN, and NzO, we have found that out of 84 distinct T and W derivatives, nine disagree in sign with the experimental values (three for CO2, two for OCS, one for HCN, and three for N2O). Some of the discrepancy is due to dez 83V/dR~2dR2; we rivatives of the type F r l d R ~ ~ d Rand regard the experimental values for these quantities as unreliable. In other cases, calculated derivatives which disagree with experiment but are in accord with the rules outlined in section I11 may, in fact, be more reliable than the experimental ones. Thus we distinguish between the I1 “Unconfirmed” discrepancies for these molecules, and the four “confirmed” discrepancies, cases in which calculated values disagree both with experiment and with the The Journal of Physical Chemistry, Vol. 76, No. 70, 7974

rules of section 111. For the potential function of eq 6, confirmed sign discrepancies occur for a2V/dB2 of OCS, a2V/ 802 of C02, a3V/aRN_oa02 of N20, and for a3V/dRN-NdfI2 of N20. There are no confirmed discrepancies for any kinetic derivatives or for any non-angle-dependent potential derivatives. In the Smith and Overend studies of these same molecules, there are 18 unconfirmed discrepancies, but only one confirmed discrepancy (d2V/dR1aR2 for HCN). The high number of unconfirmed discrepancies is due either to questionable terms involving d3/aR~2dR2or to cases in HCN and OCS where the predicted derivatives agree with the structural rules but the experimental values do not. Thus the modified potential function eq 7 is somewhat more accurate than eq 6, and supports the structural rules of section 111. This function is also successful in treating CS2 and ClCN, where there are six unconfirmed but only one confirmed discrepancy. B. The Anderson Potential Function.

He evaluated his potential function for COz, CS2, OCS, HCN, H20, SO2, and 03.For the two linear symmetric species, COz and CS2, a virial theorem analysis of his results shows that there are no confirmed or unconfirmed discrepancies; eq 8 seems to describe quite accurately this kind of molecule. These results are superior to those reported by Parr and Brown29and Smith and Overend.31 For the two nonsymmetric molecules, OCS and HCN, there are 17 unconfirmed and 4 confirmed discrepancies; these results are inferior to those reported in section IVA. Three of the four confirmed discrepancies involve derivatives of V. The three nonlinear molecules, H20, S02, and 03,are more difficult to model successfully. Anderson’s results contain 20 unconfirmed and 10 confirmed discrepancies. All of the confirmed discrepancies involve angle-dependent derivatives, five of T and five of V Thus the vhial theorem analysis suggests that Anderson’s function is quite accurate for symmetric linear species, somewhat less accurate for nonsymmetric linear molecules, and significantly less accurate for nonlinear triatomics. C. Point.Charge Point-Dipole Model. One of us has recently proposed a point-charge point-dipole model for V which contains two parameters: q, a bond charge, and p , a point dipole on the central atom.36 The suggested form of Vwas

VCR,, R2, 0) = -20(q2e2/9R1)- 20(q2e219R2) 10[qpe cos (8/2)/3Rt]- 10[qpe cos (d/2)/3R22]+ [22q2e2/9(R12 R22- 2R1R2cos 19)1’z1 [2q2e2/3I(Rl2 l!4RZ2 - RlR2 cos 8)1”2][2q2e2/3’(1/4RI2 RZ2- RlR2 cos 8)1/2] ( 9 )

The parameters were evaluated using approximate relations obtained from the virial theorem and their values were shown to be in accord with chemical intuition. Approximate values for d3W/dRl3 and d2Wld82were predicted.36 Now that experimental values for 3 V/aRI and d V/a0 are available, we have determined q and p parameters for
