β¦ Synopsis
The reorientational dynamics of an asymmetric top (a C2v symmetry triatomic) are investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. The angular momentum autocorrelation function / is non-exponential with a very long positive tail. The autocorrelation functions , and ~1 (t).&(O)> of three unit vectors 9. -C \_A, LB and $ fixed in the principle moment of inertia coordinate system are non-exponential for each of the first four Legendre polynomials Pl to Pq.
