Transition frequencies were taken from
(1) D. R. Herschbach and J. D. Swalen,
1958, J. Chem. Phys. 29, 761;
from
(2) R. A. Creswell and R. H. Schwendeman,
1977, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 64, 295;
and from
(3) B. A. McGuire, P. B. Carroll, R. A. Loomis, I. A.
Finneran, P. R. Jewell, A. R. Remijan, and G. A. Blake,
2016, Sciece, in press.
Uncertainties of data in (1) were difficult to
evaluate, 250 kHz were assumed here. These data
were not merged. Data in (2) appear to be judged
conservatively, 20 kHz may be more appropriate.
More data extending to higher quantum numbers were
reportedly measured, but not published. As explained
in (1) and (3), transitions may exhibit small methyl
internal rotation splitting. Corresponding frequencies
from (3) were averaged. Predictions with uncertainties
larger than 0.3 MHz should be viewed with caution.
The dipole moment was determined by
(4) D. R. Herschbach and J. D. Swalen,
1957, J. Chem. Phys. 27, 100.
