Abstract
The Hamiltonian (Pauli approximation) which gives rise to the spinrotation coupling tensor and the electron spin g tensor is set up for a 2Σ polyatomic molecule. A relationship between the spin-rotation interaction and the Zeeman effect is suggested. The magnitudes of those terms which prevent this relationship from being exact are estimated. The relationship should be valid to two significant figures in the correction of the g factor from that of the free electron in most cases. Some comparisons with experiment are made.
