Abstract
The wave-functions for a molecule are dependent both on the nuclear and electronic coordinates. The first task is, therefore, to try to separate the electronic and nuclear motions. We designate the coordinates and masses of the nucleus µ (Qµ, Mµ) and the coordinates and masses for the electrons (ri, m), where all coordinates r and Q are referred to a laboratory fixed coordinate system.
