I have been trying to calculate the rotational constants (B) for CO and COX2 from IR Vibrational-Rotational spectra.
I know that for CO the peak spacing is approximately 2B (ignoring effects due to centrifugal distortion) however for COX2 it seems the peak spacing represents 4B instead when I compare my results to literature?
Does anybody have any explanation as to why this is, or could provide reading on this subject to explain why the peak spacing for COX2 is 4B?
