The rotational transition frequencies were reported by
(1) R. A. Motiyenko, L. Margulès, D. Despois, and J.-C. Guillemin, 2018, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 20, 5509.
The reported uncertainties were slightly too conservative and were adjusted. The molecule displays commonly splitting caused by methyl internal rotation; state number 0 signals the A symmetry component, 1 the E symmetry component. The quality of the predictions should be sufficient for astronomical observations. Predictions with calculated uncertainties exceeding 0.2 MHz should be viewed with caution.
Please note that erham may label Kc quantum numbers incorrectly for E symmetry components of transitions with asymmetry splitting of about the same magnitude as the tunneling splitting. Three pairs of experimental lines were relabeled. Please note also that the entry represents the lowest energy conformer only. The partition function refers only to the ground vibrational state of this conformer.
The theoretical dipole moment components were determined in (1).
