Abstract The complete quadratic force fields of ethane, ethylene and acetylene have been calculated from CNDO/2 and MINDO/2 wavefunctions by the force method. Agreement with experiment is satisfactory for both methods. In the CNDO method the stretching force constants must be scaled empirically to obtain realistic values. It is particularly significant that stretching-deformation and deformation-deformation coupling force constants are correctly reproduced by the CNDO method and with the exception of the rocking-rocking couplings, also by the MINDO method. It is concluded that such calculations may usefully contribute to the determination of force fields.
