The visible and near ultraviolet rotation-vibration spectrum of HOD

A Fourier transform spectrum has been recorded of a H2O/D2O vapor mixture in the wavenumber range 16,300 to 22,800 cm(-1) using a long path cell. 410 lines of HDO are assigned to the OH stretching overtone bands 5 nu (3). 6 nu (3) and 7 nu (3) plus combination bands. Assignments for the 6 nu (3) and 7 nu (3) bands represent the first data for the 006 and 007 states and give band origins of 19.836.88 cm(-1) and 22,625.50 cm(-1), respectively. Rotational term values for these states are also obtained. (C) 2001 Academic Press
