The high-resolution Fourier transform spectra of the CHD3 molecule have been recorded and assigned between 1850 and 2450cm−1. To verify the assignments and to span a more complete energy manifold in the excited vibrational states, the hot bands 2ν3−ν3, ν3+ν6−ν3, ν3+ν6−ν6, and 2ν6−ν6 near 1000cm−1 were used. The assignment presented in this study is based on the recent ground state rotational energies determined by Ulenikov et al. (J. Mol. Spectrosc. 186 (1997) 230). As a result the vibrational–rotational energies in the (v3=2,A1), (v3=v6=1,E), (v6=2,A1), (v6=2,E), (v4=1,E), (v2=1,A1), and (v3=v5=1,E) states have been refined and extended.
