15 When the Going Gets Tough, Call Bob Field! Bob says “We have lots of information…”Bob says “We have lots of information…” Spin rotation is either large and negative or small and positiveSpin rotation is either large and negative or small and positive Spin-rotation splitting arises from a cross term between H rot and H so, so the signs of off-diagonal elements of both H rot and H so enter into the predicted value of the spin-rotation constantSpin-rotation splitting arises from a cross term between H rot and H so, so the signs of off-diagonal elements of both H rot and H so enter into the predicted value of the spin-rotation constant All we need is electronic configurations for 2 Π and 2 Σ states (from Björn Roos)All we need is electronic configurations for 2 Π and 2 Σ states (from Björn Roos)
