Dimethyl ether is a complex interstellar molecule with two internal rotors, which has a high abundance in the star-forming regions. This point, jointed with the recent development of the last-generation observatories operating at the sub-mm and mm wavelengths, has motivated a new laboratory spectral recording in this frequency range. In spite of that, the rotational spectra was only analysed in depth within its vibrational ground state and a new spectral analysis within the fundamental torsional states is in progress. These analysis were carried out with ERHAM, a global model that takes into account the large amplitude motions owing to the two equivalent internal CH3 tops. Nevertheless, their torsional modes in principle interact with the bending COC mode and an appropiate torsional-bending description would be needed in order to analyse the rotational spectra within higher excited states. In this work, a new analysis of the COC bending and the CH3 torsional degrees of freedom has been carried out by means of ab initio calculations. A new and more accurate three-dimensional Potential Energy Surface (PES), is obtained using the CCSD(T) level of theory. This approach has also been applied to other isotopologues of interest, as 13C-dimethyl ether and the monodeuterated species. The purpose of this study is to help in the assignment of new spectral lines of these species and hence to contribute in the spectral cleaning of the astronomical observations to the interstellar medium.
