The range of excited states was extended with respect to the initial entry from Feb. 2007. The version number was retained. A global fit of data for all isotopic species and the experimental lines have been summarized in

The newly recorded transitions extend to almost 1 THz and to high vibrational states. Previous pure rotational data from

were also used in the fit.
The predictions should be adequate up to about 2 THz.
The dipole moment was assumed to agree with that of the main species, see e060506.cat.
Vibrational states v ≤ 35 have been considered for the calculation of the partition function.
