Abstract
The partition function is considered for molecules having restricted internal rotations, and expressions are obtained which are reasonably accurate for most actual molecules. Tables are presented which list the contributions of a single restricted rotational degree of freedom to the entropy, energy, free energy, and heat capacity.Keywords
