Vibrational Spectroscopy of CH/CD Stretches in Propadiene: An Algebraic Approach

Using Hamiltonian based on Lie algebraic method, the stretching vibrational modes of C₃H₄ and C₃D₄ molecules are calculated up to higher overtones. The model appears to describe C-H and C-D stretching modes with less number of parameters. The locality parameter ξ confirms the highly local behaviour of the stretching modes of these molecules.
