Abstract

The 3nu(2) overtone band of deuterium oxide, D(2)O, centered at 3474.3193 cm(-1), has been measured with high resolution in a 4-m base-length White cell attached to a Fourier transform spectrometer. The analysis of the spectrum led to the assignment of 347 transitions in this band, defining rovibrational energy levels in the (030) state up to K(a) = 7 for J as high as 9, and lower K(a) levels for J as high as 16. The (030) state was treated as an isolated state, following a Padé-Borel approximation in the effective Hamiltonian. Of the 115 energy levels included in the analysis, 80% were reproduced by the 21 adjusted parameters to within 0.0008 cm(-1), and the largest error was 0.0017 cm(-1). Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
