As part of a continuing $program1,2$ of analysis of bands of the $\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">1</mrow>}Au-\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">1</mrow>}Ag(\pi \ast -n)$ transition of glyoxal, the rotational structure of a number of bands of the doubly deuterated derivative $(C2D2O2)$ have been analysed. Rotational and vibrational constants have been determined using an asymmetric rotor computer program. The vibrations investigated are (CO stretching), (CC stretching), and (CCO bending), the torsional levels with , and and (CD out-of-plane wagging).
