RAM36 program V. Ilyushin, Z. Kisiel, L. Pszczółkowski, H. Mäder, J. T. Hougen // J. Mol. Spectrosc. Vol. 259, pp. 26-38 (2010). The RAM36 (rho-axis-method for 3 and 6-fold barriers) code realizes the Rho-axis-method approach for the molecules with the C3v top attached to a molecular frame of Cs or C2v symmetry and having 3- or 6-fold barrier to internal rotation respectively. The program carries out a global fit of rotational transitions in several torsional states simultaneously using a two step diagonalization procedure.

Conclusions The new experimental data on the methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) spectrum were obtained in the 150 - 380 GHz range. The assignments in the vt=0,1,2 torsional states of methyl mercaptan were extended up to Jmax= 50. The analysis using RAM36 program allowed significant improvement of the quality of the fit in the vt=0,1,2 torsional states, at the expense of anomalous behavior of the torsional potential function expansion. This suggests significant perturbation from a low-lying small amplitude vibration state.
