The study combines rotational and rovibrational data pertaining to vt = 0 and 1 plus some low energy K transitions of vt = 2. By far the most data are from this work. A small amount of transitions below 35 GHz are from

The quantum numbers are J, Ka, Kc, and m. The values 0 and 1 of m correspond to A and E symmetry lines, respectively, of vt = 0. The sign of Ka (with "+" omitted") reflects the parity for A symmetry states and the usual signs of K values in degenerate vibrational states for E symmetry states.
The calculated frequencies should be reliable throughout; some caution is advised for transitions reaching the limit of J (50) or Ka (19).
Please note: No experimental lines have been merged in the present entry. The list of experimental lines (with reference labels) can be accessed in the Cologne Spectroscopy Data section. You can also access the A symmetry and E symmetry calculations separately.
The rotation-torsional part of the partition function is converged. Small contributions by small amplitude vibrations have been considered in the harmonic approximation. Please note the mostly non-standard temperatures. Sep. 2024: Corrected the listed partition function values which did not contain contributions by small amplitude vibrations; the intensities did already!
The dipole moment components were taken from a measurement of 13CD3OH by

the remainder of the dipole moment function was taken from
