TLDR
In this article, the Hartree-Fock wave function was used as an approximate wave function for the direct calculation of force constants and dipole-moment derivatives from SCF-MO wavefunctions.
Abstract
General expressions for the force constants and dipole‐moment derivatives of molecules are derived, and the problems arising in their practical application are reviewed. Great emphasis is placed on the use of the Hartree–Fock function as an approximate wavefunction, and a number of its properties are discussed and re‐emphasised. The main content of this paper is the development of a perturbed Hartree–Fock theory that makes possible the direct calculation of force constants and dipole‐moment derivatives from SCF–MO wavefunctions. Essentially the theory yields ∂φi / ∂RJα, the derivative of an MO with respect to a nuclear coordinate.

Perturbative treatment of scalar-relativistic effects in coupled-cluster calculations of equilibrium geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies using analytic second-derivative techniques

TL;DR: The implementation for Hartree-Fock self-consistent field, second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory, as well as the coupled-cluster level is used to investigate the relativistic effects on the geometrical parameters and harmonic vibrational frequencies for a set of molecules containing light elements.

Newton Based Optimization Methods for Obtaining Molecular Conformation

TL;DR: This chapter presents an alternative approach that has the added capability of handling Hessians, which may contain negative eigenvalues, which will prove especially useful for starting geometries, which are well removed from the desired minima.

Orbital instabilities and spin-symmetry breaking in coupled-cluster calculations of indirect nuclear spin–spin coupling constants

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of orbital instabilities is investigated for spin-symmetry breaking perturbations, namely the Fermi-contact (FC) and spin-dipole (SD) contributions to the indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants.

Dynamical Theory of Crystal Lattices

Max Born, +1 more
TL;DR: Born and Huang's classic work on the dynamics of crystal lattices was published over thirty years ago, and it remains the definitive treatment of the subject as mentioned in this paper. But it is not the most complete work on crystal lattice dynamics.

Forces in molecules

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the force on a nucleus in an atomic system is just the classical electrostatic force that would be exerted on this nucleus by other nuclei and by the electrons' charge distribution.
