Vector Methods in the Theory of Molecular Vibrations

Abstract

Some comments are given on the construction of Polo's ρ vectors. Methods are reported for the construction of the (a) G^—1C^α and (b) G^—1C^αG^—1 matrices by means of the (a) ρ and s vectors, and (b) ρ vectors alone. These matrices are important in the study of Coriolis interaction coefficients of rotation—vibration. For illustration of the theory the ethylene‐type molecular model is taken as an example.
