  1. Toward a global model of low-lying vibrational states of methyl cyanide, CH3CN: the v4 = 1 state at 920 cm–1and its interactions with nearby states Holger S. P. Müller, B. J. Drouin, J. C. Pearson, L. R. Brown, I. Kleiner, R. L. Sams 11th International HITRAN Conference; VIII-7

  2. Motivation • important molecule in InterStellar Medium (ISM), • especially hot cores, and in CircumStellar Envelopes (CSE) − 5 isotopic species detected, incl. CH2DCN; 13CH313CN + ?? − hot band transitions of vibrationally excited states detected − v8 – v8 hot band transitions detected for 13C species − used as temperature probe (esp. hot cores) − considered to be a weed species • present in planetary atmospheres (Titan, Earth)

  4. The ν4 Band of CH3CN • ν4 = ν(C–C), parallel band • favorable frequency region for remote sensing • weak band strengths: ν44.8 cm–2 atm–1; ν8 (4.4), 2ν8 (6.2), ν7 (11.7) ν6 etc (94)
