General expressions have been obtained for this dependence from a model which considers one degree of internal freedom for molecules with one part planar and the other with a plane of symmetry. The formulas are functions only of the inertial parameters of the molecule. For those cases where the $\alpha$-dependence is small, the results are expanded as Fourier series. In this case the $\alpha$-dependence of the torsional kinetic energy may be expressed as a variation in the effective potential hindering the internal motion. en_US dc.format.extent 130315 bytes dc.format.mimetype image/jpeg dc.language.iso English en_US dc.publisher Ohio State University en_US dc.title INTERNAL ROTATION IN ASYMMETRIC-ASYMMETRIC MOLECULES.
