Notes:
The Raman spectra of trihalides of the Fifth Group, BiCl3, AsCl3, AsBr3, SbBr3 and PCl3, in the gas, liquid and solid were obtained. A normal coordinate analysis was performed. The intermolecular force constants were calculated from variations of the intramolecular force constants of the molecule during the phase transition. The half-periods of librations in the liquid and lattice frequencies in the crystal were calculated and the lattice spectrum of the crystal was interpreted. It is shown that for a heavy central atom the calculation of intermolecular force constants may be performed in the approximation of a diagonal potential energy matrix. For a light central atom such an approximation may be used only for estimates. In this case the use of a complete potential energy matrix of a molecule is necessary for an accurate calculation.
