We have developed a global model to deal with all vibration-rotation levels in acetylene up to high vibrational excitation energy, typically up to 9000 wavenumbers. It has been applied to a number of isotopologues, considering all known vibration-rotation lines published in the literature, for various purposes such as line assignment, 2581 (2008).} and astrophysical applications, 2846 (2008).}. Coriolis interaction is now systematically being introduced in the model. Recent results concerning the analysis of hot emission FTIR spectra recorded around 3 microns by R. Georges et al. at the University of Rennes (France) and of CW-CRDS spectra recorded around 1.5 microns by A. Campargue et al. at the University of Grenoble (France) will help illustrate the role of this vibration-rotation coupling in the global polyad scheme.
