Abstract
The microwave spectrum of CD3OH has been studied over the 8 to 58 GHz region, and numerousb-type transitions have been assigned. Many of these belong toP subbranches which descend to the microwave region from subband origins lying much higher in the far-infrared, pass through zero frequency, and return upward again. Others are members ofb-typeQ branches which extend across the region. As well, variousa-typeK-doublet lines arising as transitions directly across the split levels of asymmetry doublets have been identified.
