Abstract
High resolution measurements of the two components of the ν2 (umbrella) fundamental mode of the fully deuterated oxonium ion (D3O+) are reported. The spectra were obtained by diode laser absorption in a plasma containing D2 and D2O. Analysis of the observed spectra yields precise estimates of the two band origins and molecular parameters describing the states involved. By combining these data with the available high resolution data for H3O+, using the nonrigid invertor Hamiltonian, we are able to determine the equilibrium structure and the vibrational potential function; also we predict the inversion spectrum of D3O+ and the 2v2–v2 hot band spectra of H3O+ and D3O+.Keywords
