Abstract
The rotational splittings observed by others in the ν 3 band of methane in xenon are fitted to a model. Instead of the usually assumed octahedral site, this model assumes that the methane rotates in a tetrahedral site and it gives a reasonable explanation of the spectrum. Recent high resolution spectra have shown the presence of more than one site for methane in inert gas crystals, and the existence of multiple sites is the most likely explanation for the observed anomalies.
