Decoding Pure Rotational Molecular Spectra for Asymmetric Molecules

Figure 3

An example of a common pattern for -type -branch transitions. The three patterns show the effects of increasing asymmetry as the figure is viewed from top to bottom. The center of the group is located at ( )( ), the spread of each group is equal to ( )( ). The values of rotational constants used to generate the spectrum are shown.
