The J" = 0 transition frequencies were taken from
(1) S. G. Kukolich, 1971, J. Chem. Phys. 55, 4488;
the information on the deuterium hyperfine structure was eliminated. The remainder of the data was taken from
(2) M. Melosso, A. Achilli, F. Tamassia, E. Canè, A. Pietropolli Charmet, P. Stoppa, L. Dore, 2020, J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer 248, Art. No. 106982.
The spectroscopic parameters differ slightly from those in (2). The calculation should be sufficiently accurate for all observational purposes.
The dipole moment components were derived from that of CH3Cl determined by
(3) G. Wlodarczak, B. Segard, J. Legrand, and J. Demaison, 1985, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 11, 204;
taking into account the rotation of the inertial axis system.
