Unitary Approach to Vibrational Spectra of Tetrahedral Molecules: Generalized Infrared Intensity Model.

International audienceIn this paper we further extend a previous formalism, the construction of a dipole function adapted to tetrahedral molecules. The extension is based on an algebraic construction of symmetrized tensor operators through unitary algebra and point group symmetry. We prove that this generalization allows us to find the particular formalism that has been established and satisfactorily tested in a previous paper (C. Leroy et al., J. Mol. Spectrosc. 175, 289–295 (1996))
