We show that rovibrational state selectivity can be achieved by chirped adiabatic passage of molecules that are adiabatically aligned by a nonresonant laser field. We develop the tools to design the appropriate frequency and amplitude modulations that allow us to select a given route in the Hilbert space that leads to a final complete excitation of the chosen state, by infrared or by Raman processes. This method allows us to select a given vibrational state in a well-defined rotational J state.
