It now comprises 13CH3CN data in v8 = 2 along with v = 0 and v8 = 1, see also e042509.cat and e042540.cat. The fit is described in

In the case of v8 = 2, the line list includes new measurements employing a sample highly enriched in CH313CN. These are transitions with (partially) resolved 14N hyperfine structure (HFS) splitting between 36 and 241 GHz, transitions without HFS splitting between 166 and 1090 GHz, along between 1085 and 1145 GHz obtained from samples in natural isotopic composition. The experimental line lists with hyperfine splitting as well as without hyperfine splitting can be accessed with source codes. Please note that the quantum numbers or their format have been adjusted slightly with respect to the initial line file for simplicity and consistency reasons. Vibrational identifiers in this and related entries are
0 for v = 0,
2 for v8 = 1, l = –1,
3 for v8 = 1, l = +1,
6 for v8 = 2, l = 0,
7 for v8 = 2, l = +2,
8 for v8 = 2, l = –2.
The purely K-dependent terms A and DK were assumed to agree with those of the main isotopolog, see e041509.cat.
The transition frequencies should be viewed with caution if the calculated uncertainties exceed 0.1 MHz. Please note that the entry contains numerous weak lines with fairly large uncertainties because of the low intensity threshoilds.
14N hyperfine splitting may be resolvable at low values of J and possibly at the highest K. Therefore, a calculation with hyperfine splitting is provided up to J' = 14 (259 GHz). Please note that the partition function does include now the spin-multiplicities of 14N !
Please pay attention to the upper state degenercies. The partition function values below refer to the ground vibrational state only. Vibrational correction factors have been derived in the harmonic approximation.
The dipole moment was assumed to agree with that of the main isotopolog, see e041510.cat.
