Notes. (a)Calculated at CCSD/cc-pVTZ level of theory. (b)The numbers in parentheses are the parameter uncertainties in units of the last decimal digits. Their values are close to 1σ standard uncertainties (67% confidence level) because the unitless (weighted) deviation of the fit is close to 1.0. SPFIT/SPCAT program package (Pickett 1991) was used for the analysis. (c)Fixed to the calculated value, which is usually a preferred constraint over the zero or poorly determined value (Urban & Sarka 1990; Koucký et al. 2013). (d)Relative energy with respect to the global minimum, taking into account the zero-point energy. (e)Number of distinct frequency lines in the fit. (f)Root-mean-square deviation of the fit. (g)Unitless (weighted) deviation of the fit.
