CCL: Renner - Teller effect in polyatomic molecules reg

 Sent to CCL by: "Abrash, Sam" [sabrash#%#richmond.edu]
 The reason for the lack of information is that the Renner-Teller effect is
 limited to linear molecules.  The analogous effect for non-linear molecules is
 the Jahn-Teller effect, which is well documented for tetra-atomic molecules and
 larger polyatomic molecules.  A good book that introduces these effects is
 Fischer's book entitled Vibronic Coupling.
 I hope this helps.

 several accidents, the device was abandoned and Hinton lost his job ..."

 Respected CCL members,
 I am looking for literature on Renner - Teller effect in polyatomic molecules.
 The RT effect in tri atomic molecules is well documented and for tetra atomic
 molecules very few. A through search with Google, I could not find any paper on
 penta atomic or more.atomic molecules. Can any of you suggest me in this regard.
