Abstract
The formulas derived by Gerhard and Dennison for calculating P and R branch separations in parallel type vibration—rotation bands have been applied to 50 symmetric and slightly asymmetric molecules. If consideration is restricted to those fundamental bands that are not obviously overlapped or perturbed by interaction with other bands the average difference between observed and calculated separations is found to be ±5% with only seven differences exceeding ±10%.
