Abstract
A new method is proposed for solving the problem of separation of vibrational and rotational motions in a molecule, as well as a formula for the rotational energy levels. A kinetic energy operator in general form is used for arbitrary generalized coordinates. It is shown that for a triatomic nonlinear molecule, the motions are separated exactly. The problem of a polyatomic molecule is reduced to a "triatomic" molecule.
