Lattice Dynamics of Ammonia

Abstract: A simple force constant model is developed and applied to the vibrations of solid ammonia, NH, and ND,. Four intramolecular (two stretching and two bending) and six intermolecular force constants are adjusted to obtain the best fit to the crystal field splittings and lattice mode frequencies observed by Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Isotopic shifts are also calculated. The principal intermolecular interactions are of the H-H and N-H type, but there is no evidence of hydrogen bonding in the crystal. The intr… Show more

“…Additionally, a calculation of the frequencies of these molecules obtained a slightly higher value for the ν 3 ND of NHD 2 than the ν 3 of the ND 3 . 25 Nevertheless, since both assignments lead to reasonable agreement with Eq. (3), the highest frequency was assigned to the ν 3 of ND 3 given the agreement with the observed ν 3 frequency in pure ND 3 , 6 and this assignment also finds support from the assignment given in an infrared study of low-temperature mixed crystal of NH 3 , NH 2 D, NHD 2 , and ND 3 .…”

“…For both H,CO and H,DO crystals, N is equal to 30 for the internal modes, 25 for the lattice modes, and hence 55 for all modes. The corresponding values of A are 1.24%, 6.7%, and 4.6% for H,CO and 0.76%, 6.1%, and 4.2% for D,CO. In other words, with 20 adjustable parameters (7 intramolecular and 13 intermolecular), 110 observed frequencies have been modelled for the two crystals with an overall RMS deviation of about 4.4%.…”

“…Note that S j is the fraction of the kinetic energy shared by the H-atom in the jth vibrational mode; the factor 1/2 in the third term arises from the fact that in a harmonic oscillator, the kinetic energy is half its total energy. Table 2 lists the six measured internal vibrations frequencies [24,25] of 14 NH 3 in its three phases. To calculate K e (H) using Eq.…”
