β¦ Synopsis
We study the classical and quantum mechanics of the 3-mode Baggot vibrational Hamiltonian for H20. Chirikov resonance analysis gives an approximate view of the classical phase space structure. Computation of periodic orbits and families of resonant 2-tori provides a more rigorous basis for the use of the Chirikov picture. Examination of classical surfaces of section together with quantum mechanical Husimi phase space distribution functions leads to a dynamical assignment of almost all 45 states considered. The most extensive mixing occurs via a 2-state avoided crossing.

The potential energy surface for the electronic ground state of the water molecule is optimized by means of a variational procedure using the exact vibrational Hamiltonian in the bond length-bond angle coordinates. In the optimization, Jensen's potential energy function (J. Mol. Spectry. 133 (1989)
The rotation-vibration spectra of diatomic molecules are discussed with the aid of the SO ( 2.1) dynamic group. The eigenvector of the compact generator is explicitly obtained by realizing the generators in the four-dimensional polar coordinates. A special representation of the radial part of the ge
