most of the experimental frequencies were taken from that work. Additional frequencies below 50 GHz were taken from

Predictions with uncertainties larger than 0.2 MHz should be viewed with caution.
Vibrational identifiers 0 and 3 refer to transitions with torsional states having A symmetry in vt = 0 and 1; 1 and 4 to torsional states having E symmetry with Ka = JKc + 1 (or Ka < 0); and 2 and 5 to torsional states having E symmetry with Ka = JKc (or Ka ≥ 0).
The partition function includes contributions from the first three excited torsional modes and approximate contributions from the lowest small amplitude vibrational mode. The partition function should thus be essentially converged up to 150 or even 200 K and still quite complete at 300 K.
The RAM dipole moment values were derived in (2) from values of the main isotopolog by
