Abstract

Some fundamental concepts underlying the calculation of rotational constants of interstellar molecules are discussed. The case of the X-ogen line and the MgNC molecule are taken up as illustrative examples. These constitute relevant findings because they show the importance of resorting to sophisticated techniques as a means for the identification of interstellar lines.
