Abstract: In this paper we show that, for a sub-Laplacian $Delta$ on a $3$-dimensional manifold $M$, no point interaction centered at a point $q_{0}inM$ exists. When $M$ is complete w.r.t. the associated sub-Riemannian structure, this means that $Delta$ acting on $C^{i}nft{y}_0(Msetminus{q}_0)$ is essentially self-adjoint. A particular example is the standard sub-Laplacian on the Heisenberg group. This is in stark contrast with what happens in a Riemannian manifold $N$, whose associated Laplace-Beltrami operator is never essentially self-adjoint on $C^{i}nft{y}_0(Nsetminus{q}_0)$, if $dimNle3$. We then apply this result to the Schr"odinger evolution of a thin molecule, i.e., with a vanishing moment of inertia, rotating around its center of mass.
