Abstract
The concrete molecule-fixed (MF) kinetic energy operator for penta-atomic molecules is expressed in terms of the parameter δ, the matrix element Gij, and angular momentum operatorj. The applications of the operator are also discussed. Finally, a general compact form of kinetic energy operator suitable for calculating the rovibrational spectra of polyatomic molecules is presented.
