Odd-odd Magnetic Interaction and Spontaneous Ortho-para Transitions in Molecule and Molecular Hydrogen Ion

Abstract

Spontaneous nuclear ortho-para transitions are shown to be possible in hydrogen molecule and molecular ion as due to hyperfine interaction odd-odd relative to the space or spin nuclear coordinate permutations. A part of this interaction inversely proportional to the first power of nuclear mass is found for hydrogen molecular ion.
