Notes:
The fundamental v=1←0 vibration–rotation band of OD− has been observed using the tunable infrared radiation from a difference frequency laser system and the velocity modulation technique for detection. The band origin is determined to be 2625.332(3) cm−1. The rotational constant B and the centrifugal distortion constant D have been determined for both the ground state and the first excited state. A remarkable similarity between molecular constants of OD− and OD has been noticed and utilized to estimate equilibrium vibration–rotation constants. These vibration–rotation constants were used to estimate the equilibrium bond length and the quadratic, cubic, and quartic force constants.
