Abstract

This paper is concerned with the study of the quantitative correlation of the rotation-bending energy levels of a linear or bent triatomic molecule with the energy levels of the molecule when there is free internal rotation of a diatomic fragment [as in, for example, Ar(HCl)]. The LiNC and KCN molecules are used as model systems. A correlation parameter γ r is introduced to quantify the position a molecule occupies in these correlation diagrams; this parameter has the value +1 for an ideal bent molecule, −1 for an ideal linear molecule, and −3 for an ideal free internal rotor triatomic molecule. The rotation-bending energy levels of the HCN-HNC isomerization system, and of the double minimum HO 2 system, are also studied.
