The pressure dependence of the Raman lattice modes of anthracenc and naphthalene molecular crystals has been studied in the range O-10 kbar, using hydrostatic pressure and laser excitation. Criineisen parameters in the range 3-6 have been observed. Calculations SC the elastic wnstants and the prcssurc dependence of the lattice frqucncizs have been carried out using an intermolecular potential of the atom-atom type, with parameters derived from other crystalline properties. Agrecmcnt with experimental data is good.
The temperature variation of the vibrational frequencies of crystal lattices involves a mixed dependence on both temperature and volume, whereas the effects of pressure involve the volume dependence only (to a good fast approximation), and allow a useful separation of the two dependences [l]. We report here a study of the pressure dependence of the Raman-active lattice vibrations of the molecular crystals anthracene and naphthalene, and the results of a

calculation of these frequencies and of the eIastic constants. We used a form of the intermolecular porenziat which has proved useful elsewhere for molecular crystals. Studies such as this are 2 new direction for molecular crystals, though some results on intramolecular frequencies at high pressure have appeared. We expect that pressure-dependence studies will play a valuable role in the molecular crystal field in the future. The experimental methods have been&described elsewhere [2]. Crystals cf anthracene and naphthalene were subjected to hydrostatic pressure up ta 10 kbar, and the Raman spectra were excited by a KeNe laser (50 .rnW at 6328 A). The crystals \vere oriented, and the spectra partially polarized, but the experimental conditions made polarization data unreliable. Polarized spectra are also taken at one atmosphere

We have calculated the dispersion curves using the methods of Bouadeo and Taddei [12] znd from the limiting slopes of the acoustic frequency versus !vave vector have obtained the sound velocities. ‘HE sound velocities and dispersion curves obtained here are in reasonable agreement with those obtained by PawIey [8], allowing for the differences in potentiai ener_q parameters used. The elastic constants, derived directly from the velocities, will not be compared with errperiment since a certain amount of arbitrariness is involved in deriving the non-major constants from the velocities. Sufficient indication of the agreement with the direct experimental sound velocities is shown in table 2. Instead of maintaining a purely theoretical approach and using cur derived elastic constants to compute the effect of pressure on structure, we have chosen to use the constants taken from experiment [IO, 1 I]. A pressure is assumed (1000-2000 atmospheres) and the strains calculated. The compressions did not agee very closely with the pressure-voIume data [4], but any attempts to scale the calculations I 6.400

sound velocities as a function of pressure (density) and have found these changes to be predicted. The results quoted above in table 3 are thus not to be taken as the best that theory can do; they are, however, representative of the results obtained with various reasonable variations on the calculations. The values of the Griineisen parameters, averaging about 5, are higher than those typically obtained for ionic crystals, and the implication is that a very distance-xnsitive potential is associated with the frequencies being observed.
