Abstract
A method for solving the vibrational problem by using an effective energy operator containing Morse potentials and new model atom approximations is developed. The approach is explained by reference to the trifluoromethylacetylene molecule where the model atom is a CCC or CC atomic group. Using certain assumptions for parameters in the spectrum, we managed to confirm the known experimental result of bond strengthening of the terminal hydrogen atom when the CC bond order increases and to predict the CH bond energy (462.5±4.6 kJ/mole). This procedure seems to be also effective for more complex adsorption problems where the model atom is a crystal. Given that the surface effect is predicted by the parameters of the method, the corresponding model energy operator is constructed. With appropriate spectral data, the approach guarantees very accurate estimations of adsorption bond energies.
