Collision-induced rotational transitions of molecules +A/ have cross sections, whose magnitude depends strongly on the sign of A/ (I'+/-asymmetry"). It is shown that the physical origin of this effect is quantum-mechanical interference, and that it is expected to occur in any symmetric top molecule.
Calculated cross sections for collisional defocusing of a beam of symmetric-top molecules in a hexapole field are compared with new and recent experimental values. The calculations show that collision processes involving changes in K have much smaller cross sections than those for changing M, and cr
