Abstract
Computed IR spectra of triplet vinylidenecarbene, CH2, CCO, and NCN are compared with experiment. Some triplets have much lower intensity spectra than the corresponding singlets, and for these care needs to be taken to get good computed spectra. Others are of higher intensity, and for these agreement is as good as in the usual singlet cases.
