Notes. The data presented in bold are the results used for the astrophysical detection in Sect. 7. This table is given for the rotational degrees of freedom; the contributions from vibrational excited states are ignored.

^(a)

The sum of states did not converge completely, error for total < 20 for the symmetric conformation, < 40 for asymmetric.

^(b)

The sum of states has not converged (this is the reason for ratio < 1 at 300 K).

^(c)

These values are computed with the rigid asymmetric rotor approximation.
