Rotationally resolved overtone transitions of CHD3 in the visible range

Abstract
Absorption spectra in the 14 900–18 700 cm−1 range have been recorded for gaseous CHD3 at high resolution using the intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy (ICLAS) technique. The observed transitions correspond to the N=6 and 7 overtones of the C–H chromophore. Five bands were identified and rotational constants determined for four of them. The comparison of our experimental data with the calculated band origins and rotational constants obtained by Lewerenz and Quack is discussed. Absolute band intensities are given for seven bands corresponding to the N=5, 6, and 7 polyads.
