Where can I find rotational/vibrational temperature data for ethane?

Click For Summary
Data for rotational and vibrational temperatures of ethane (C2H6) can be challenging to find through general searches. A specific resource was identified: the CCCBDB database from NIST, which provides experimental data for various molecules, including ethane. Additionally, the computation of moments of inertia for simple molecules is possible, though the reference table in McQuarrie's "Statistical Mechanics" does not include ethane, focusing instead on methane (CH4) and others. This highlights the need for targeted databases or literature when researching specific molecular properties.

Hi,
Where would I find data for rotational/vibrational temperatures for a particular molecule (ethane)? I tried googling but had no luck. Also can you compute the moments of inerta for a particular (simple) molecule?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Statistical Mechanics by McQuarrie p.132 table 8-1 has the values for ## CH_4 ## and several other molecules. (Looking at it more closely=## CH_4##=methane. No, ethane ## C_2H_6 ## is not in that table). ## \\ ## Edit: I did find this in a google: https://cccbdb.nist.gov/exp2x.asp?casno=74840&charge=0 Perhaps it will be helpful.
