The purely K-dependent parameters (A and DK), needed to obtain reasonable intensities, were taken from CH3CCH;

At low temperatures, it may be necessary to discern between A-CH3C4H and E-CH3C4H. The A states are described by K = 3n, the E states by K = 3n ± 1. The nuclear spin-weight ratio is 2 : 1 for A-CH3C4H with K > 0 and all other states, respectively. The JK = 11 state is the lowest E state. It is 5.3762 cm–1 above ground.
