Description
Abstract:	A Hamiltonian which includes bending vibration and three axis rotation is set up for the bent 'A" state of HCN and DCN. The symmetric top approximation is made and rigid bonds are assumed but interaction between bending vibration and A-axis rotation is included. Three potential parameters and two bond lengths are adjusted to fit the rotational and vibrational levels and rotational constants, determined experimentally from the (0 v'₂O)² <-- (0'1 0) and (0 v'₂O) <-- ss(0 1' 0) absorption bonds. Results include the bond lengths, r(subscript CH) = 1.158 A, r(subscript CD) = 1.149 A, the equilibrium bending angle, 56°54', and the height of the potential hill, 6790 cm⁻¹ for DCN.
