An attempt has been made to modify the UBFF for SF4 by taking into account the presence of the lone pair of electrons. It has been found that the bond pair – lone pair interactions become of importance only when the angle between the bond pair and the lone pair approaches 90°. The equatorial S—F stretching force constant (4.0146 mdyn/Å) is greater than the axial stretching force constant (3.6237 mdyn/Å), which is consistent with the form of the relationship between the force constant and bond length.

An attempt has been made to modify the UBFF for chlorine trifluoride by taking into account the presence of lone pairs of electrons, on the lines suggested by Pariseau, Wu, and Overend. It was found that the lone-pair-bond-pair interaction is less than the lone-pair-lone-pair interaction which is considerably lower than the stretching force constant for the lone pair of electrons. An approximate relation between the above interactions was obtained.

An attempt has been made to study the influence of lone pair electrons on the potential constants of BrF5 with a modified Urey–Bradley force field. It is found that the lone pair – bond pair repulsion is greater than the bond pair – bond pair repulsion. It is also concluded from a study of other molecules containing halogen atoms that the ratio of lone pair – bond pair interaction to bond pair – bond pair interaction is very nearly 1.23.

A modified U.B.F.F. containing terms directly related to lone pair electrons, has been used to evaluate the potential constants of SeOF2. The value obtained for the Se-O stretching constant supports the double bond character of the bond. The lone pair-bond pair repulsion bears a fixed ratio to the non-bonded repulsion (FeF/FFF=1.24 and Feo/FoF=1.23) and this result is in agreement with earlier conclusions.

The potential energy constants of thionyl fluoride and sulphuryl fluoride were calculated using a modified UBRF. The behaviour of the oxygen atom is found to be similar to that of the lone pair of electrons in thionyl fluoride. The vibrational mean amplitudes of thionyl fluoride and sulphuryl fluoride were also calculated from the vibrational spectral data.

Bond-length distributions are examined for thirty-three configurations of the metalloid ions and fifty-six configurations of the post-transition-metal ions bonded to oxygen. Lone-pair stereoactivity is discussed.

Bond-length distributions are examined for three configurations of the H+ ion, sixteen configurations of the group 14-16 non-metal ions and seven configurations of the group 17 ions bonded to oxygen. Lone-pair stereoactivity for ions bonded to O<sup>2-</sup> is discussed, as well as the polymerization of the PO<sub>4</sub> group.

AbstractA set of relationships between the Morse and Varshni potential functions for describing covalent bondstretching energy has been developed by imposing equal force constant and equal energy integral. In view of the extensive adoption of Morse function in molecular force fields, this paper suggests two sets of parameter conversions from Varshni to Morse. The parameter conversion based on equal force constant is applicable for small change in bond length, while the parameter conversion based on equal energy integral is more applicable for significant bond-stretching. Plotted results reveal that the Varshni potential function is more suitable for describing hard bonds rather than soft bonds.
