It is well known that it is advantageous to determine the coefficients of the asymmetric-top rotational Hamiltonian using a reduced Hamiltonian (I) and axis system (2) which is best suited for the molecule being considered (3, 4). Two ofthe more popular reductions have been designated (1) as the A and the S reductions, the latter being useful for near-symmetric-top cases. For various reasons it may be of interest to transform coefficients calculated using one reduction and axis system to another. For example, in this laboratory a program has been written to calculate Raman (and infrared) band contours for asymmetric-top molecules (5). This program has been set up for rotational energy levels and wavefunctions calculated using an A-reduced Hamiltonian and a I’axis system. It appeared to be easier to convert literature coefficients to this case for use in generating the required data as opposed to having a separate version of the program for use in each of the different cases. The transformation between coefficients obtained with different axis systems and/or reduced Hamiltonians has been presented for quartic centrifugal distortion coefficients (6). In the present work this method has been extended to include sextic coefficients and generalized to produce a computer program which may be used to transform between arbitrary sets of coefficients. The method consists of transforming the available coefficients Y (to the determinable coefficients Xi as given by Watson (I): B,, B,, B,, T,,, T,,, T,,, T,, i;,@,,,, Q,,, Q’,,,, Q,, $,, &, and &. Here, the coefficients Xi differ from those in Ref.(1) in that they are normalized by the sum of the quadratic coefficients for convenience in the numerical transformation (3). If an axis system transformation is desired, the determinable coefficients are suitably permuted. Then, the reverse transformation from the determinable coefficients to the desired coefficients is carried out to obtain the desired result. Thus, the transformation may be expressed in matrix form as
