The aim of this work is to describe a specific completely symmetrized, combined local mode/symmetrized modes (LM/SM), nonperturbative vibrational calculation procedure, and computer code, designed for implementation of large‐scale calculations on the vibrational energy levels in benzene C 6 H 6 , as well as its D 6h isotopomers. Using this procedure and code, calculations have been performed on the fundamental frequencies of benzene, using the harmonic force constants, as well as a very small number of anharmonic constants, as adjustable input parameters. In this way, an improved set of symmetrized harmonic force constant values for benzene C 6 H 6 have been determined, allowing for very good reproduction of the fundamental frequencies. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
