For an oblate top, the unique axis is denoted by c. By replacement of A by C and a by c, the energy expression and angular momentum matrix elements for an oblate top may be obtained. In particular, for the energy. 

For a coupled spin system, the matrix of the Liouvillian must be calculated in the basis set for the spin system. Usually this is a simple product basis, often called product operators, since the vectors in Liouville space are spm operators. The matrix elements can be calculated in various ways. The Liouvillian is the conmuitator with the Hamiltonian, so matrix elements can be calculated from the commutation rules of spin operators. Alternatively, the angular momentum properties of Liouville space can be used. In either case, the chemical shift temis are easily calculated, but the coupling temis (since they are products of operators) are more complex. In section B2.4.2.7. the Liouville matrix for the single-quantum transitions for an AB spin system is presented.

To form the only non-zero matrix elements of Hrot within the J, M, K> basis, one can use the following properties of the rotation-matrix functions (see, for example, Zare s book on Angular Momentum) ... 

The only difference is that a(0) is now an operator acting in jm) space of angular momentum eigenfunctions. This space consists of an infinite number of states, unlike those discussed above which had only four. This complication may be partly avoided if one takes into account that the scalar product in Eq. (4.55) does not depend on the projection index m. From spherical isotropy of space, Eq. (4.55) may be expressed via reduced matrix elements (/ a(0 /) as follows... 

The operator Tang contains the cross-terms that give rise to the Coriolis coupling that mixes states with different fl (the projection of the total angular momentum quantum number J onto the intermolecular axis). This term contains first derivative operators in y. On application of Eq. (22), these operators change the matrix elements over ring according to...
