Abstract

A complete theory for the rotation-vibration energies of tetrahedrally pentatomic molecules has been derived to second degree of approximation for certain vibration states. In this discussion the elements of the matrix

H

are given for the states

V_{1} ν_{1}

ν_{2}

V_{1} ν_{1} + ν_{3}

V_{1} ν_{1} + ν_{4}

ν_{2} + ν_{3}

and

ν_{2} + ν_{4}

. The selection rules governing what transitions may take place have been determined with relations for the intensities.
