Abstract
The global analysis of the spectra of asymmetrically deuterated methoxy radicals obtained in high resolution spectroscopy of 3$^2_0$ and (6$^{\prime}$)$^1_0$ bands of $\tilde{A}^2A^{\prime} \leftarrow \tilde{X}^2E$ electronic transition}, as well as the previously reported microwave}$ International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, June 2004} data has been performed to obtain the molecular constants of the ground state of these species. For this purpose, a molecular Hamiltonian in which the coordinate system has one axis aligned with the C-O bond of the molecule, was used to analyze the combination differences derived from LIF data together with raw microwave spectrum. The quality of the fit is consistent with the experimental accuracy of both microwave and LIF measurements. The results of the analysis and the correlation of different models are discussed.
