Notes.

(a)

Rotational constants A, B, C, quartic centrifugal distortion constants ΔJ, ΔJK, ΔK, δJ, δK, and sextic centrifugal distortion constants ΦJ, ΦJK, ΦKJ, φJ are given in the notation of Watson’s A-reduction scheme in Ir-representation (Watson 1977).

(b)

The value ρ is the magnitude of the ρ-vector, β represents the angle between the ρ-vector and the principal a-axis, ε1 and ε2 are the first and second energy tunneling parameters, respectively. Tunneling parameters associated with the rotational and centrifugal distortion constants are given in the notation [ X ] q, where X is a linear combination of the rotational constants or centrifugal distortion constants and the subscript q designates the tunneling component (see Groner 1997, 2012, for details).

(c)

Iα is the moment of inertia of the methyl top, Ir is the reduced moment of inertia, F is the reduced rotational constant, ΔEEA is the torsional energy difference, and ∠(i,a), ∠(i,b), ∠(i,c) are the angles between the internal rotation axis i and the principal axis a, b, c.

(d)

Numbers in parenthesis represent the 1σ uncertainty (67% confidence level) in units of the last decimal digit.

(e)

Fixed value.
