Notes. (a)A, B, and C represent the rotational constants computed at the CCSD/cc-pVTZ level. (b)|µa|, |µb|, and |µc| are the absolute values of the electric dipole moment components (in D).(c) V3 is the barrier height to the methyl internal rotation (in cm−1).(d)∆E is the energy calculated at the CCSD(T)/CBS level, taking the ZPE at the CCSD/cc-pVTZ level (in kJmol−1) into account.
