c-S4 tunnels between two equivalent minima and only rotation-tunneling transitions are allowed. Only levels with Ka and Kc even are allowed in 0+ (state number 0), and only levels with Ka and Kc odd are allowed in 0 (state number 1). The experimental FT microwave and millimeter lines were published by
(1) S. Thorwirth, M. C. McCarthy, C. A. Gottlieb, P. Thaddeus, H. Gupta, and J. F. Stanton, 2005, J. Chem. Phys. 123, Art. No. 054326.
Calculations should be viewed with caution once the uncertainties exceed 100 kHz.
The dipole moment is from a quantum chemical calculation in (1).
