Abstract: | Literature data on the CO-stretching and the ground-state torsion-rotation spectra of the CH3OD isotopic species of methanol have been exploited to extrapolate the ground-state energies to higher J through use of ground-state combination differences derived from the CO-stretching wavenumbers. In particular, the J-dependence has been extended and better defined for the difficult |K| = 0 to 2 E energy level sequences, which are strongly affected by molecular asymmetry. The pattern of the J-dependence is found to be qualitatively well reproduced by a simple 11 × 11 Hamiltonian model incorporating K = ±1 and ±2 off-diagonal asymmetry matrix elements. The results suggest partial reassignment of certain CO-stretching subbands, and the K = 8 and 9 A subbands have been newly identified through clues from reported far-infrared laser (FIRL) emission. Transition combination loops support a number of FIRL line assignments previously proposed, but show that the FIRL system pumped by the 9R(4) CO2 line must be reassigned. |
