Coriolis coupling

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002585",
  "term": "Coriolis coupling",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An interaction between the vibrational and rotational motions of a molecule, arising from the Coriolis force experienced by atoms moving in a rotating molecular frame. This coupling can lead to shifts and splittings in rotational energy levels and is observed in high-resolution vibrational spectroscopy. It provides information about molecular structure and dynamics.",
