1. Introduction Calculation of external vlbratlonal modes of molecules m sohds has become a widely accepted procedure which brings about the posslbllity of prelctmg their structural, thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties [l-6] . While for hydrocarbons there 1s a choice of rehable atom-atom sem:-empmcal potential functions [S-7], for other molecules the sltuatlon IS more compiex, at least if vibratlonal propertles are taken mto account, besides the packmg energy. In the literature, examples of this tid are reported for a relatively limited number of substances, such as, for mstance. N, [8], 02 [9], fluorinated [IO] and chlonnated [I I] compounds. In order to test the vah&ty of these potentials, and in view of their unprovement and generahzation, we Table 1 Crystallographx

considered a series of slmllar rlgtd aromatic molecbies wth different kmds of heteroatoms and no hydrogen bonds, for whch spectroscopic and crystallographic data are currently available. On this basis, we selected fIuorene, carbazole, dlbenzofuran and dlbenzottiophen as possible candidates. Although a general objection about testmg potentials wth such comphcated molecules might be raised, nevertheless these molecules do not differ considerably from the corresponchng hydrocarbons, for which good to excellent agreement between observed propertles and lattlce-dynamlcal results IS obtained. On the other hand, an efficient screemng of the potentials for the heteroatoms reported m ihe hterature IS achieved, to be used as a reference for future work m the field The first three compounds are practically Isomorphous, space group Pnma = Dig, whereas the fourth crystal-

CrystaUographrc data are summarized r.n table 1_ For C-C, C-H and H-H non-bonded mteractrons, the potentrals grven by W~ihams [ 161 and Kitargorodskri [ 171 have been used: since no substantral drfferences have been observed between the frequencies calculated from these two sets, results are reported here for the former set only. For N-N the function given by Luty and Pawley [ 181 and for S-S the one given by Pawley and co-workers [ 191 were chosen_ For O-O four ddferent functrons have been euammed, namely the ones proposed by Grgho et al [20]. by Parsonage and , Pemberton [2 I ] , by Laufer and Leror [22] and by Krtargorodskn et al [23] . A set of calculatrons was also performed using the coefficients of the C-C potentials for the N-N, O-O and S-S contacts. Except for the case in whrch the whole set of Kitargorodskri functrons (KMN) was used, for mrxed mteractrons, C-X and H-X, coefficrents were always assumed to be the geometrrc or arithmetrc mean of the coefficrents relative to equal atoms, accordmg to the usual procedure. The C-H bond length was assumed to be 1 09 A and the N-H bond 1.03 A. Potential functions are collected m table 2.

2 Method of calculation
The packmg energy and its derivatives with respect to molecular coordinates are considered to be a sum of independent terms, each one of them due to a van der Waals mteractron between two non-bonded atoms III drfferent molecules. The lattice sums are extended to a maxrmum distance of 15 A for the calculation of the packing energy and of 8 a for the calculation of lattree frequencies and of the temperature factors: this ensures convergence [S] . A first step involves mimrmzation of packing energy as a function of molecular coordmates for this purpose, a Raphson-Newton procedure 1s used. From thrs stage, we obtam a value of the packing energy and the drfference between experimental and calculated molecular orientation and posrtron m the urut cell: these data already grve an idea about the intrmsic validity of the assumed potentral function and of the proposed treatment A second step mvolves a Born-von K&man dynamreal treatment, which leads to the ergenvalue equation.
where o IS the frequency of a normal mode in crystal, M(q) IS the “mass adjusted” dynamrcal and t(q) are the “mass adjusted” displacement For 4 = 0, thrs treatment leads to mfrared- and
the matrix vectors. Raman-

active lattice vlbratlon frequencies; thermodynamic functions and crystallographc temperature factors are obtained after an appropriate sampling of the Bnllouin zone [24].
3.Results and discussion For all considered compounds the &fference between the experrmental and the calculated molecular coordmates in the crystal is reasonably small, the maximum values being 0.12 A and 3” for translation and rotation, respectively. These values are as good as for hydrocarbons [7], and from this point of view all the potential functions here adopted appear to be equally satisfactory (see table 3).
1 May 1981
Srm~lar conclusions can be drawn wth respect to enthalpy of subhmation, at least m the two cases where measurements are avalable (see table 4). Expenmental and calculated lattice vlbratlon frequencles are reported m table 5. Smce the functions proposed by Laufer and Leroi and by Parsonage and Pemberton gwe unaginary frequencies even for CJ= 0, no results relatwe to these functions are reported m table 5, and they are omltted from further connderatlon. In order to help the reader m vlsuahzmg correspondence between these data, the percentage mutual agreement IS gven as R = 100 C Ivobs-vdl/Qobs It must be stressed, however, that smce a rlBd model has been used in these calculations, the highest calculated frequencies should III general exceed the correspondmg expermental values.

to consider instead the opportumty of reexammmg the mterpretation of the experrmer,tal IX data. In fact, It is difficult to image an essential failure III reproducing a whole series of IR-active vlbratlonal modes and in the same tune a substantial success m reproducmg the whole seyes of Raman modes. Moreover, these drfficul-
ties arise even for fluorene, I.e. 2 compound ~nth no heteroatoms, m contrast with the general agreement for hydrocarbons between calculated and experimental lattice frequencies [7] . Even for IR frequencies a good agreement is achieved for hbenzothiophen, whose crystal structure IS different from the ones of the other three compounds Therefore, some parallel msmterpretation of spectra might have occurred. Comparison of anisotroplc crystallographuz temperature factors with experimental values, as given by X-ray diffraction, shows an overall satisfactory agreement for all the substances (see table 6). for some potentials the R mdex (see table 3) 1s ~20% and this 1s w~thm the actual accuracy of the experimental data. Furthermore, it must be pomted out that calculabon of temperature factors was possible since no imagmary frequencies appeared throughout the Brillouin zone: a test of ths kind has always proved to be quite important for venfymg the valilty of any potenti function [33 1. It seems that better results are obtained for dbenzofuran if the potential proper to the heteroatom is replaced by a “common” C-C potentialthis might mean that the van der Waals interaction of the oxygen atom enclosed in these rings is tiferent from the corresponding mteraction in the substances from which these potentials were derived. In conclusion, our calculations show that an overall good agreement with experimental data 1s obtained, except for some [R-active vlbratlonal modes: however the calculated frequencies are at the limit or beyond the range of observation and future experunental work seems to be advisable.
