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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on locating rotational and vibrational temperature data for ethane (C2H6). The user initially struggled to find this information through general searches. A reference to the NIST Chemistry WebBook was provided as a potential resource for obtaining the necessary data. Additionally, the user mentioned the moments of inertia for simple molecules, referencing McQuarrie's "Statistical Mechanics" for related data on methane (CH4), but noted that ethane is not included in that specific table.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molecular thermodynamics
  • Familiarity with rotational and vibrational spectroscopy
  • Knowledge of moments of inertia in molecular physics
  • Experience with data retrieval from scientific databases
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the NIST Chemistry WebBook for ethane data
  • Explore rotational and vibrational spectroscopy techniques
  • Learn about calculating moments of inertia for various molecules
  • Investigate additional resources for molecular thermodynamic data
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, researchers in molecular physics, and students studying thermodynamics or spectroscopy will benefit from this discussion.

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.
