The rotational spectrum of methanol in the third excited torsional stateThis article is part of a Special Issue on Spectroscopy at the University of New Brunswick in honour of Colan Linton and Ron Lees.We dedicate this paper to Dr. R.M. Lees, one of the early pioneers of methanol spectroscopy and internal rotation theory. Indeed, inspired by his 1968 methanol paper (Lees and Baker. J. Chem. Phys. 48 , 5299 (1968)), numerous methanol studies have been matured and brought to the next level of ever challenging internal rotational problems. Among them, in the last 40 years, Ron himself has made large contributions to the understanding and advancement of the complicated methanol spectrum from pure rotation to vibration-torsion-rotation interactions. His energy maps constructed from observed transitions are continuously evolving and represent one of the most comprehensive and valuable high resolution methanol databases for a variety of applications.
