6. Summary

The Urey-Bradley force constants for the in-plane vibrations of the boric acid molecule are calculated using the Wilson’s F-G matrix method. They are as follows: KO-H=5·23, KB-O=4·94, HBOH=0·36,\(H_{O\hat BO} = 0 \cdot 41\), F00=0·68 and FBH=0·98 in units of 105 dynes/cm. Using the force constants, the frequencies are recalculated and the calculated values agree with the observed values satisfactorily. The in-plane vibrational frequencies of deuterated boric acid are also calculated and again satisfactory agreement with the observed values is found.
