The regular octahedral molecules have six fundamental vibration frequencies, but their general potential function requires seven independent constants. The possible values and interdependence of seven constants for a general function of the valence-force-field type has been examined for SF/sub 6/, SeF/sub 6/, TeF/sub 6/, MoF/sub 6/, WF /sub 6/, and UF/sub 6/ using the six vibration frequencies of each. By reasonable arguments it has been possible to propose more limited ranges for the possible values of the various constants. The meaning of the values of the constants are presented and their significance discussed in relation to the electronic structures of the various molecules. (auth)
