Both the net rate of production and the reaction rate are used in many further data processing procedures, such as the determination of rate coefficients k, pre-exponential factors ko, activation energies kinetic orders, and so on. The definitions of these rates have to be carefully distinguished. The net rate of production of a component is an experimentally observed characteristic. It is the change of the number of moles of a component per unit volume of reactor (or catalyst surface, volume, or mass) per unit time. The reaction rate r can be introduced only after a reaetion equation has been assumed with the corresponding stoichiometric coefficients. Then, the value of the reaction rate can be calculated based on the assumed stoichiometrie reaction equation. This is an important conceptual difference between the experimentally observed net rate of production and the calculated reaction rate, whieh is a result of our interpretation. The main methodologieal lesson is Do not mix experimental measurements and their interpretation.

As concerns the procedure, the empirical equilibrium structure is obtained by a least-squares fit of the molecular structural parameters to the mixed experimental/ theoretical equihbrium moment of inertia / which are obtained in a straightforward manner firom the corresponding equilibrium rotational constants [see Eq. (6.10)]. Therefore, the fit requires at least as many independent rotational constants as there... 

Finally, we focus on the derivation of highly accurate structural information, by mixed experimental-theoretical analysis. As already mentioned, the equilibrium structure is directly related to the instead of experimentally measured Bq rotational constants. As a consequence, its elucidation requires explicit consideration of vibrational effects, which, within a pure experimental approach, would require the knowledge of experimental vibrational corrections to rotational constants for all isotopic species considered. A viable alternative is provided by the QM computations of the corresponding vibrational corrections [29], which can be obtained very effectively by second-order vibrational perturbation theory (VPT2) [210, 214] applied to a cubic force field [214-216] (see Section 10.3.2 for an extended account on VPT2). The combination of experimental ground-state rotational constants with computed vibrational corrections see Eq. 10.6) allows...
