How can the magnetic dipole of a molecule (Oxygen for example) affect radiation absorption?

In general I believe fine structure is possible involving rotational spectra (microwave range) even without a permeanent dipole moment in rotating molecules. Molecular rotation corresponds to a magnetic dipole moment which can interact with the spin mag. moment of electrons.
