Introduction Molecular crystals comprising a vast and comparatively little investigated class of solids are characterized by a diversity of properties. Up to now only solidified noble gases have systematically been investigated and this is due to the availability of relevant theoretical models and the ease of comparing theories with experimental results. Recently experimental data have been obtained for simple non-monoatomic molecular crystals as well and this in turn has stimulated the appearance of several theoretical papers on that subject. This paper deals with the analysis of thermodynamic properties of the group of non-monoatomic molecular crystals including solid N2 and CO that have similar physical properties. These crystals are formed by linear molecules and in their ordered phase the molecular centers of mass are situated at the site of a face-centered cubic FCC pattern the molecular axes being directed to the four spatial diagonals of a cube .
