Abstract.

We define stretching relative equilibria (RE) of silane and other similar tetrahedral molecules in terms of the dynamical polyad symmetry which assumes the resonance condition 1:1 between the two stretching vibrational modes ν1 and ν3 of the molecule. Exploiting symmetry and topology arguments and reducing the dimension of the classical mechanical system, we find these RE. One of them, with local symmetry C3v and minimal energy within a polyad, corresponds to the local modes. We give the upper energy limit of the local mode localization within a polyad.
