Abstract: The theory of rotating axes and polyatomic molecules is extended in a form applicable to linear and anomalous molecules. It is applied to a linear tetratomic molecule and to an anomalous ammonia-like molecule, to obtain, in each case, a Hamiltonian kinetic energy lacking first-order terms. A second-order perturbation calculation yields the energy of interaction between rotation and vibration for the linear molecule. The relationship to Howard's theory of ethane is also given.
