In order to investigate the structure and to determine the parameters of the potential functions for triatomic molecules of the XY/sub 2/ type using the gas electron diffraction method, the authors have proposed a semirigid model for the bending-rotational Hamiltonian, which has been previously applied in the analysis of vibrational-rotational spectra. The authors have obtained relationships for the statistical probability density distribution functions for the internal coordinates and the electron scattering intensities, taking into account the effects of vibrational-rotational coupling, kinematic and dynamic anharmonicity of the vibrations. The proposed approach does not require a priori knowledge of the symmetry of the equilibrium configuration, and may be used in electron diffraction studies of arbitrary molecules of the XY/sub 2/ type.
