“…These 19 vibrational states are in fact comprised of 37 separate vibrational sublevels, most of which ultimately give rise to infrared absorption from the ground state. Although the Enneadecad of CH 3 D corresponds to the Octad of CH 4 from 2.1 to 2.8 μm [13], the detailed comparison of corresponding bands is not obvious. The Enneadecad of CH 3 D contains 12, 7 and 18 sublevels of symmetry A 1 , A 2 and E, respectively, while the Octad of CH 4 contains 4, 2, 5, 5, 8 sublevels of symmetry A 1 , A 2 , E, F 1 , F 2 , respectively.…”
