Abstract
Using the symmetry group chain methods, the internal dynamics of the simplest carbocation, C2H3+, is analyzed under the traditional assumptions that the equilibrium structures of the carbocation are planar and that the nonrigid motion between them is in-plane. This geometry of the internal dynamics is shown to agree with the data of the microwave spectroscopy on the splittings of rotational energy levels caused by the nonrigid motion. Previously, this statement was based on the model that violated the requirement of self-adjointness of operators of physical quantities.
