were evaluated from cyanoallene by

The uncertainties in (1) appear to be about 2σ
values and were thus adjusted to 1 kHz.
The calculations are certainly accurate enough for
cold environments, possibly even for slightly
elevated temperatures. Transition frequencies with
low Ka should be viewed with caution
for J > 20. Transition frequencies with
low J should be viewed with caution for
Ka > 6. The calculations were
truncated at 200 GHz, at J" = 40, and
at Ka = 10.
The dipole moment is from a quantum-chemical
calculation in (2). The calculation of b-type
transitions are unreliable. Moreover, the
b-dipole moment component is nearly zero.
