Database Software for Polyatomic Molecules

The development of Microsoft Windows based database software is proposed. The electronic database will contain information associated with vibrational frequency of polyatomic molecules as provided in various literatures and by Standard Reference Data (SRD) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The electronic database will hold frequency of fibrational modes, the force constant, as well as notes and references. The MS Windows based graphical user interface will allow easy and flexible search and display capability. All molecular states are displayed in its symbolic form, exactly as one would find in the literature. The program will be packaged with a powerful search module allowing a variety of different methods of locating the desired molecule. The end-product of Phase I development will be a working (beta) version of the database software.
