Details:
Each energy level is characterized by the asymmetric-top quantum numbers
J, Ka, and Kc, together with the free-rotor quantum number m.
When table includes hyperfine levels, the standard quantum number F = J + I is included in the level designation.
The correspondence between the m quantum number used in the .cat file and the vibrational–torsional quantum number
vt, as well as the associated symmetry species Γ = A or E of the C3v point group,
is summarized in the table below.
| m | 0 | 1 | -3 | -2 | 3 | 4 | -6 | -5 | 6 | 7 |
| vt | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
| Γ | A | E | A | E | A | E | A | E | A | E |
