The classical mechanics of the interaction between bending vibration and molecular rotation is studied for a simple rigid bender model. A one-dimensional representation of rotational motion enables surfaces of section to be constructed. Quasiperiodic, resonant and chaotic motions are identified, and related to characteristic patterns of vibration-rotation energy flow.
