A new method for calculating rotation-vibrational states of triatomic
molecules is presented. It is based on an expansion of the wavefunctio
n in terms of hyperspherical harmonics, which cover five coordinates,
and numerical integration of the resulting see of differential equatio
ns in the remaining coordinate, the hyperradius rho. The method is app
lied to H-3(+). Here we compare the results for two electronic surface
s, the Meyer-Botschwina-Burton surface and the new surface by Kutzelni
gg and coworkers.
