Abstract
To gain more information about the highly excited rotational states of the Δv = 1 sequence of OD vibration-rotation bands, the spectrum has been produced in an inductively coupled plasma discharge and measured with a Fourier transform spectrometer between 1670 and 5768 cm−1. Along with the extension of 1–0 band, we have been successful in recording the 2–1 band for the first time. A nonlinear least square fit of these bands yielded equilibrium molecular parameters forv = 0, 1 and 2 levels with a standard deviation of 0·0032 cm−1. The centrifugal distortion parameters show a systematic vibrational dependence.
