Summary
Wilson’s group theoretical method has been employed in the investigation of force constants of two molecules B2 11H6 and B2 10D6 which possess the X2Y6 bridge structure. Symmetry co-ordinates which are orthonormalized and which satisfy the transformation properties have been constructed for the X2Y6 molecules possessing the bridge structure and belonging to the symmetry D2h . The elements of the F and the G matrices have been worked out. The secular equations have been solved to obtain a large number of force constants.
