Abstract

We present an accurate model for predicting the thermodynamic properties for boron trifluoride. Unlike conventional computational approaches that rely on numerous experimental spectroscopy or calorimetry data, this model only uses a small number of molecular constants. The values for entropy, enthalpy, specific heat and Gibbs free energy are computed within the temperature range from 100 to 6000 K and compared with the available experimental data. This representation introduces a new approach to deal with the anharmonic vibrations of polyatomic molecules in general.
