New assignments of Raman spectra of tetrahedra and the effects of electronegativity. I. P4O10 and Si-containing molecules

Our new density functional theory calculations by Gaussian reproduce the bond lengths and Raman spectra of a number of model tetrahedral Si and P compounds [the ten compounds in the SiHxD4−x and SiFxCl4−x (x = 0–4) series, and the tetramer P4O10]. The number of symmetric A1 peaks is determined by gr...
