Spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene is an isomer of toluene
consisting of two cycles fused at one C.
Transition frequencies were taken from
(1) S. W. Staley, A. E. Howard, M. D. Harmony,
S. N. Mathur, M. Kattija-Ari, J.-I. Choe, and G. Lind.
1980, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 102, 3639.
Initial estimates of the quartic distortion parameters
were taken from an MP2 quantum-chemical calculation
by
(2) H. S. P. Müller, 2021, unpublished.
The data set is quite limited. The calculations
were therefore truncated at 200 GHz and at
J = 60.
The calculations should be sufficient for searches
in cold environments. Transition frequencies with
calculated uncertainties exceeding 0.1 MHz
should be viewed with caution.
Spin-statistical weight ratios have been ignored
because of the proximity to 1 : 1.
The dipole moment is from (1).
