Article Description

The theory of forbidden rotational transitions is reviewed and spontaneous emission rates and lifetimes of metastable levels of NH 3, H 3 O +, H 3 +, and CH 3 CN are calculated. Rotational levels are classified into stable, metastable, and unstable levels. The importance of the forbidden rotational transitions in the thermalization of interstellar molecules is discussed.
