Rovibronic state
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-010446
A quantum mechanical state of a molecule that simultaneously describes its rotational, vibrational, and electronic energy levels. Each electronic state has a manifold of vibrational states, and each vibrational state has a manifold of rotational states. Transitions between these rovibronic states are observed in high-resolution spectroscopy, providing detailed information about molecular structure and dynamics.
