Abstract
Classical mechanics is used to compute the low resolution spectrum of Na3 in the chaotic regime. The regularity in the spectrum is shown to be due to a family of C2v symmetry tori involving a high amplitude breathing mode and a high amplitude bending mode. These tori are the two mode survivors of the three mode tori whose quantization gives the four assignable lower energy vibrational levels.Keywords
