The entry is based on data pertaining to the vibrational states v₈ ≤ 2 and takes into account interactions between these states. Interactions with states v₄ = 1, v₇ = 1, and v₈ = 3 were accounted for through spectroscopic parameters and appropriate interaction parameters. The fit was described in

Vibrational identifiers in this and related entries are
0 for v = 0 (1 with HFS),
2 for v₈ = 1, l = –1 (4 with HFS),
3 for v₈ = 1, l = +1 (5 with HFS),
6 for v₈ = 2, l = 0 (9 with HFS),
7 for v₈ = 2, l = +2 (10 with HFS),
8 for v₈ = 2, l = –2 (11 with HFS).
Transitions between vibrational states occur in the lower energy entry.
The predictions should be reliable throughout. Caution is advised at higher K, that above 16 for l = +2, 13 for l = 0, and 11 for l = –2.
¹⁴N hyperfine splitting may be resolvable at low values of J and possibly at the highest K. Therefore, predictions with hyperfine splitting have been provided up to J' = 15 (280 GHz) along with partition function values. The rotational part of the partition function is complete up to 500 K (J up to 140 and K up to 30). Vibrational contributions have been considered in the calculation of the partition function for states up to about 1200 cm^–1. Higher vibrational states contribute to less than 3.0 % at 300 K. Additional information on vibrational states is also available.
