The rotational fine structure of six parallel and nine perpendicular vibration bands of tri­deuteromethyl iodide has been analysed, and molecular constants have been derived. These include the band origins, the rotational constants in different vibrational levels, the α A i and α B i values, and the Coriolis coupling constants ς i for the fundamental degenerate vibrations. The ς values for overtone and combination bands have been compared with values calculated from the ς i values of the fundamentals, and agree closely with previous theoretical predictions.


The rotational line structure of seven parallel and seven perpendicular vibration bands of methyl iodide has been measured with high resolution, and the molecular rotational constants have been determined. Values of a x and a x and the Coriolis coupling constants for the fundamental degenerate modes have been determined. The values for overtone and combination bands usually agree closely with those predicted from the values found for the fundamentals. There appear to be inexplicable perturbations in some of the perpendicular bands. The ratio of A values, an d frequency product rules, for the isotopic species CH 3 I and CD 3 I are in accordance with theory.
