The observed lines are from
(1) M. J. Travers, W. Chen, J.-U. Grabow, M. C. McCarthy, and P. Thaddeus, 1998, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 192, 12.
The purely K-dependent parameters (A and DK), needed to obtain reasonable intensities, were taken from CH3CCH;

The dipole moment is an estimate. Predictions have been truncated at K = 6. Nevertheless, predictions at higherJ and K should be viewed with great caution.
Please note: the entry has been reevaluated April 2013 to resolve minor issues.
The dipole moment is an estimate.
At low temperatures, it may be necessary to discern between A-CH3C8H and E-CH3C8H. 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-CH3C8H with K > 0 and all other states, respectively. The JK = 11 state is the lowest E state. It is 5.3074 cm–1 above ground.
