16O12C17O is the fourth most abundant isotopologue of carbon dioxide. As part of this study, a total of 16223 rovibrational transitions, 9822 unique ones, measured for the ground electronic state of CO2 ,were collected from 31 articles, corresponding to the limited wavenumber range of 634–12727 cm−1. The measured transitions span the polyads P = 0 - 17, where P = 2v1+v2+3v3, and v1, v2 and v3 are the normal-mode quantum numbers corresponding to the symmetric stretch, linear bend, and antisymmetric stretch motions. Following a careful validation of the compiled rovibrational transitions data, a set of 5036 empirical rovibrational energy levels has been determined. Comparison of the empirical energy-level data of this study with those in the CDSD-296 and NASA Ames-2021 line lists shows good general agreement.
