Abstract
Exact thermodynamic properties are computed for a model of rotating, coplanar molecules with centers defining a regular one‐dimensional array. The interaction included is that between nearest neighbors, represented by a truncated expansion in Legendre functions. The problem reduces to an integral eigenvalue equation, and consequently the free energy must depend analytically on temperature.Keywords
