The characteristic infrared (IR) bands at 908, 888 and 940 cm{sup -1} associated with tetrahedral edge shared defect sites on dehydroxylated silica have been investigated using cyclo-disilicic acid and cyclosiloxane molecules as models. The PM3 molecular orbital method applied to these molecules yields IR spectra in good agreement with experiment. Theoretical IR spectra generated from {sup 18}O labeled Si-O-Si bridging bonds show isotopic shifts consistent with experiment.
