Table 2.1. Determinable rotational and centrifugal distortion constants (P4) employed by various workersa


Kivelson-Wilson
Parameters for
planar molecules
Kirchhoff parameters (following Watson [15]) Watson
parameters [16]

A A′′ = A′ - 1/2τbbcc A
B B′′ = B′ - 1/2τaacc B
C C′′ = C′ - 1/2τaabb C
τaaaa τaaaa ΔJ
τbbbb τbbbb ΔJK
τabab τcccc ΔK
τaabb τ1 = τaabb + τbbcc + τccaa δJ
τaabb τ2 = (A′ / S) τbbcc + (B′ / S) τaacc + (C′ / S) τaabb δK
