Abstract

Partition functions for nonrigid rotators are obtained for the linear, spherical‐top, and symmetric‐top cases. From these are derived expressions giving the corrections to the thermodynamic functions due to centrifugal distortion as functions of the rotational distortion constants D. Numerical examples are given for HCN, methane, and ammonia.
