Notes.

(a)

Parameter nomenclature.

(b)

Torsional-rotation operators employed in the model in the Ir representation.

(c)

nop is the total order operator, which is nop = top + rop, with top the order of the torsional part and rop that of the rotational part.

(d)

Unless indicated, all constants are expressed in MHz.

(e)

ρ value is unitless.

(f)

F and V3 values are expressed in cm−1.

(g)

Fit root mean square error in MHz / weighted root mean square.

(h)

Maximum value of quantum number J and Ka included in the fit.

(i)

Number of transitions included in the fit.

(j)

Ground torsional state molecular parameters from Bermúdez et al. (2018).

(k)

Ground torsional state molecular parameters derived from this work.
