The microwave spectrum was only studied astronomically. The lines were published in

The v5 = 1 lowest vibrational state, located at about 150 cm–1, see e050512.cat has been considered for the calculation of the partition function. The v = 0 and the v5 = 1 contributions are given in parentheses. Since the vibrational energy of v5 = 1 is only an estimate, these contributions should be viewed with some caution !
The dipole moment was taken from an ab initio calculation in
