Abstract

A general expression for the inertial defects of planar symmetric top molecules has been derived and applied to H 3 +, CH 3 +, C 3H 3 +, and C 6H 6-type molecules. It has been found that the inertial derivatives a n αα for these molecules can be expressed in terms of Coriolis constants. This allowed us to find a sufficient number of relations among Coriolis constants that the number of independent Coriolis constants is equal to the number of independent force constants. A numerical calculation of the inertial defect has been conducted for benzene, using Wilson's GF matrix method, and compared with experimental values.
