In contrast to the first entry from Oct. 2000, the present one is based on Pickett's SPCAT in an attempt to mimick the Hamiltonian in (1) and (3); the one in (2) is very similar, the main difference is the global fit employed there. Mar. 2012: The individual states have been set up differently to describe the parity of the state l = 2 correctly. Now state number 0 refers to l = 0+, state number 1 to l = 0, and state number 2 to l = 2. Version number and date of entry have been retained.
Transition frequencies with uncertainties larger than 50 kHz have not been merged.
As can be seen in (3), the Hamiltonian converges slowly. This is probably caused by the rotational interaction with v7 = 3. Predictions beyond the measurements (> 815 GHz) should thus be viewed with some caution.
Note: The partition function does not include any vibrational corrections. However, vibrational contributions to the partition function of HC3N are available.
The dipole moment was derived from the (0,0,0,0), (0,0,0,1), and (0,0,1,0) states.)
