Nuclear corrections to molecular properties. VI. Vibrational transition moments in asymmetric-top molecules

Abstract
A general expansion is derived for the transition moment between two nondegenerate vibrational states of a polyatomic molecule. This analysis is combined with ab initio surfaces for the potential energy and the dipole moment of water vapor to predict integrated band absorption intensities. Calculations are compared with experiment for several transitions which originate in the zero‐point vibrational state.
