Abstract

Structural and potential constants obtained from infrared data are used with the theory of vibration-rotation interaction to obtain rotational and distortion parameters for the molecules $H_{2}$ O, $D_{2}$ O, and HDO; transition frequencies calculated using these parameters are compared with those observed in the microwave region, and, in the case of HDO $Q$ -branch lines, a simple relation between the two sets is obtained. The validity of approximation theories as applied to HDO $Q$ -branch transitions is discussed. Methods of analyzing the observed spectrum of HDO are described, and so-called "observed" parameters for this molecule are obtained; the rotational constants are found to be $a = 7.0396 \pm 0.0005 \times 10^{5}$ Mc/sec, $b = 2.7360 \pm 0.0005 \times 10^{5}$ Mc/sec, $c = 1.9186 \pm 0.0005 \times 10^{5}$ Mc/sec, $κ = - 0.6841 \pm 0.0002$ .
