Abstract

The infrared vibrational-rotational spectrum of the

D_{3}^{+}

isotope of the simplest polyatomic molecule is observed. Eight intervals between 1750 and 1850

{cm}^{- 1}

have been measured to an error of 0.0005

{cm}^{- 1}

or 0.3 ppm (at 70% confidence level). Four have been identified as members of the fundamental degenerate vibrational band. The rest apparently involve unidentified higher vibrational-rotational levels.
