Nov. 2023: The information on the meaning of lower case characters as quantum numbers was misleading and has been rephrased. The term g_I was missing in several “useful equations” because it was assumed to be 1 initially.
Mar. 2019: The program of the VAMDC-CDMS was updated. The Classic or ascii-CDMS was moved to this server. Links have been corrected and should work, but a detailed check is pending. The coding of special characters has been adjusted.
Nov. 2009: added note in the link which explains the aggregate spin number.

Archive "Catalog Search Form"

Nov. 2021: A new group was defined: Other hydrocarbons, that are hydrocarbons different from the carbon chain species C_nH and C_nH₂, but including isotopologs.

Apr. 2010: started to add values at 2.725 and 5 K for some species. The log values are also displayed in the partition function table.

Archive "Molecules in Space"

Feb. 2024: added HCNS with documentation. Updated HNCS, HSCN, HNCO, and HCNO documentations.
Jan. 2024: updated SiC₂ documentation. The 2-butenenitrile species are counted as two because mutual conversion requires breaking of a (double) bond, hence, the E- and Z-species are different isomers, not conformers.
Dec. 2023: added isobutene with documentation.
Nov. 2023: added FeC with documentation.
Sep. 2023: added methylium and ethynylbenzene with documentation; updated C₁₀H⁻, methylamine, and methyl isocyanide.
Aug. 2023: added H₂C₃N, carbonic acid, and glycolamide with documentations.
Jul. 2023: added E-CH₂(CH)₃CN and H₂C₃H⁺ with documentations.
