Exact low-energy eigenstates of the molecule that are superpositions of spin and rotational states are obtained. We show that parameter $\\alpha = 2(\\hbar S)^2/(I\\Delta)$ determines the ground state of the molecule. Here $\\hbar S$ is the spin, $I$ is the moment of inertia, and $\\Delta$ is the tunnel splitting. The magnetic moment of the molecule is zero at $\\alpha < \\alpha_c = [1-1/(2S)^{2}]^{-1}$ and non-zero at $\\alpha > \\alpha_c$. At $\\alpha \\to \\infty$ the spin of the molecule localize"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"0911.2810","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
