The crystallographic thermal parameters have been calculated with a lattice-dynamical procedure for some hydrocarbons in the rigid-body appproximation using some sets of potential parameters taken from the literature. A comparison with experimental data confirms that the well known Williams IVb set is very good for describing vibrational properties in polycyclic hydrocarbons.
