Abstract
Normal mode calculations about the extended double six ring (D6R) subunit cluster model of Faujasite-type zeolites have been done by using the valence force field with reasonably adjusted force constants. We have studied for four X, Y zeolites species varying in M$_{f}$(Al/Si + Al) values. The calculated characteristic frequencies of D6R mode (${\nu}_{D_{6}R}$) and the rate of change of ${\nu}_{D_{6}R}$ with the mole fractions of aluminum, M$_{f}$ (Al/Si + Al) values agree well with Flanigen's experimental data; the experimental slope is -79 cm$^{-1}$, while the calculated slope is -82 cm$^{-1}$. Those are the improved results as compared to Blackwell's theoretical study; his predicted slope is -94 cm$^{-1}$.
