Abstract. We review the consequences of the gerade-ungerade symmetry breaking in HD molecule. A particular attention is devoted to electronic states close to n=2 dissociation limit. The effects of the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation are discussed. For the description of the molecular dynamics the formulation of the coupled-sates method is given. The method is applied to calculations of loosely bound states in the outer well of the II'1g potential. The results are in excellent agreement with experimental data and calculations based on a semi-empirical potential.
Key words: HD molecule, gerade-ungerade symmetry breaking, coupled equations.

NARUŠENJE GERADE – UNGERADE SIMETRIJE U HD: STANJA BLISKA N=2 DISOCIJATIVNOM LIMITU
Dat je pregled posledica narušenja gerade-ungerade simentrije u HD molekulu. Posebna pažnja je posvećena elektronskim stanjima bliskim n=2 disocijativnom limitu. Diskutovani su efekti vezani za narušenje Born-Oppenheimer-ove aproksimacije. Za opisivanje dinamike molekula formulisan je metod spregnutih stanja. Metod je primenjen za izračunavanje slabo vezanih stanja u spoljašnjoj jami II'1g potencijala. Rezultati se odlično slažu sa eksperimentom i izračunavanjima baziranim na semiempirijskompotencijalu.
