Notes.

(a)

These constants are contaminated by contribution of the internal rotation. Unperturbed values that can be compared with those from the global A + E fits or from ab initio calculations can be obtained, for example, using the approximate expression (XA + 2XE)/3 (Gordy & Cook 1984), where X substitutes the rotational and centrifugal distortion constants.

(b)

Additionally derived internal rotation parameters: angles between the internal rotation axis i and the principal axis ∠(i,a) = 31.522 (42)°, ∠(i,b) = 58.478 (42)°, ∠(i,c) = 90° (fixed value), moment of inertia of the methyl top Iα = 3.2956 (40) uÅ2.

(c)

Additionally derived internal rotation parameters: torsional energy difference ΔEEA = 14.339 (16) MHz, ∠(i,a) = 31.735 (38)°, ∠(i,b) = 58.265 (38)°, ∠(i,c) = 90° (fixed value), Iα = 3.3032 (18) uÅ2, reduced rotational constant F = 6.5347 (27) cm-1.

(d)

Equilibrium values at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of the theory.

(e)

The numbers in parentheses are 1σ uncertainties (67% confidence level) in units of the last decimal digit.

(f)

Average value obtained from three isotopic species.

(g)

Root mean square deviation of the fit.

(h)

Number of distinct frequency-fitted lines.
