Abstract
The general quadratic force field for the in-plane vibrations of terephthalonitrile was calculated by the semi-empirical MINDO/3 method. This force field was refined to the frequencies observed experimentally for terephthalonitrile and isotopic shifts of terephthalonitrile-[15N2]. The refined frequencies reproduce the experimental data with errors less than 0.5%. The normal coordinates and the force field in internal coordinates were also calculated from the refined field.
