Measurement of transitions among rotational states, often in the microwave or millimetre-wave region, yielding moments of inertia and precise molecular constants.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Resolved rotational transitions test a molecular rotational-level model and its moments of inertia, subject to selection rules, centrifugal distortion, state mixing, temperature, and isotopic composition.
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

Rotational spectroscopy resolves transitions dominated by molecular rotation.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
wp-chem-quantum-chemistryiupac-green-booknist-chemistry-webbookEach relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Rotational constants constrain principal moments of inertia and isotopic substitution can support geometry determination.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
