“…Its ground state has been determined for both 12 CH 3 D (3, 4) and 13 CH 3 D (5). Most infrared studies have been devoted to the bands within the triad region containing the three lowest fundamentals, ν 6 , ν 3 , and ν 5 (3,(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10), while the region of the three highest fundamentals ν 2 , ν 1 , and ν 4 has received less attention (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). With a few exceptions (17)(18)(19)(20), spectral intervals at shorter wavelengths are largely unexamined.…”
