High resolution,rotation, vibration spectra of D2O in the region ofν 1 andν 3 bands

The infrared spectrum of D₂O from 2400 to 3000 cm⁻¹ has been analysed at a resolution better than 0·02 cm⁻¹. It was recorded at the Fourier transform spectrometer of the Kitt Peak National Observatory, Tucson. Ground state constants of the reduced Watson-Hamiltonian, ground state energies and transition for theν ₁ andν ₃ bands are reported. The effect of strong Coriolis resonances on the spectra is discussed.
