Abstract

A consistent method is described for treating redundant coordinates in the Wilson treatment of the rotational-vibrational problem of polyatomic molecules. This method furnishes a unique set of potential constants for molecules having redundant internal coordinates. Techniques are developed which permit the calculation of the rotational distortion constants by use of the internal coordinates. A method is given for obtaining the partial derivatives of the moment of inertia tensor with respect to the internal coordinates which is applicable even when redundant coordinates are present. The results for a ZX 3Y molecule are tabulated in matrix form.
