Abstract
The quantum mechanical system of two rotating linear molecules with dipole-dipole interaction is treated, the intermolecular axis being fixed. In order to get approximate energy levels for the case of identical or non-identical rotors, a truncated orthogonal system is used for a variational procedure, where the aspects of symmetry have been included.
