Abstract

The construction algorithm is proposed for the internal rotation coordinates in polyatomic molecules. It is based on the properties of the matrix of kinematic coefficients when an excessive system of natural coordinates is introduced. The approximations providing the separation of variables are considered. The exact form of the kinetic energy operator is given.
