Energy levels of an asymmetric top molecule displaying internal rotation of an asymmetrical group with Cs symmetry

Code:
L. Coudert's code
Format:
J K p v

Details: J and K, with 0 ≤ KJ, are the usual rotational quantum numbers corresponding to the total value of the rotational angular momentum and its projection onto the molecule-fixed z axis. p, equal to 1 or 2, is used instead of the usual asymmetric-top rotational quantum number Kc. As stressed in Ref. [1], p is related to the A′ and A″ Cs symmetry of the rotation-torsion level. vt is the torsional quantum number. It is different from that used in molecules with a symmetrical CH3 or CD3 methyl group.
