The internal rotation barrier V3, the moment of inertia Iα of the methyl tops and the angle between the two internal rotation axes were determined from the torsional fine structure of the rotational spectrum in the torsional ground state. A tilt angle of 1.4° of the methyl groups toward each other results.
