Rotational spectra of five conformers of glycerol
were studied. The G'Gg'gg' conformer is
considered to be lowest in energy. The data were
published by
(1) V. V. Ilyushin, R. A. Motioyenko, F. J. Lovas,
and D. F. Plusquellic,
2008, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 251, 129;
and by
(2) G. Maccaferri, W. Caminati, P. G. Favero,
1997, J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. 93, 4115.
Two lines of (2) were omitted because of large residuals.
The predictions have been truncated at J =
40 and at 200 GHz because of limited
experimental data. The predictions may be good
enough for initial identifications in space. However,
they should be viewed with caution if the predicted
uncertainties exceed 200 kHz.
NOTE: The partition
function does not take into account any conformational
or vibrational corrections.
The dipole moment was determined in (1).
