%X The orbital valence force field has been used to calculate the force constants of some oxides and oxyanions of transition metals, e.g. MnO42-, MnO43-, RuO4, RuO4-, Ru042-, and OsO4. The force constants are compared with the Urey-Bradley force constants and have been discussed briefly in relation to relative stabilities of the corresponding ions. The applicability of the Lennard-Jones potential, to approximate the interaction between non-bonded atoms, has been examined.
