Abstract
A method is given by which, knowing the displacement vectors of the normal modes of vibration of any polyatomic molecule, we can determine at once which normal modes are coupled by Coriolis forces when the molecule rotates. The water, formaldehyde, ethylene and carbon dioxide molecules are taken as examples to illustrate the method.Keywords
