Abstract
The absorption of deuterium sulfide has been observed and measured under high resolution from 4500 to $4675 cm^{-1}$. The rotational structure has been analyzed through the use of published energy and line strength tables for the rigid asymmetric rotor. A classical centrifugal distortion was applied to the rigid energy levels. The absorption is attributed to the vibrational band having an excited state with the quantum numbers $(n_{1}, n_{2}, n_{3}) = (1, 1, 1)$. More than 100 lines with $J<8$ have been assigned with an average deviation of less than $.08 cm^{-1}$. Using the ground state inertial constants the D-S distance is calculated to be 1.345A and the DSD angle to be $92^{\circ}16^{\prime}$, in excellent agreement with similar structural parameters determined for $H_{2} S$ from infrared studies.
