Abstract
The energy levels for the motion of a rigid tetrahedral molecule in a tetrahedral crystal field have been computed by the method developed by King and Hornig. The symmetry group of the Hamiltonian is T̄× T, where T̄ is the tetrahedral group of rotations about body‐fixed axes and T is the tetrahedral group of rotations about space‐fixed axes.Keywords
