Abstract

The 212 - 111 line of H2D+ at 2.363 THz that was detected toward Sgr B2 and identified based on a calculated line frequency has been measured in the laboratory precisely by using a tunable far-infrared spectrometer. All the available THz lines and known millimeter- and submillimeter-wave lines together with the combination differences derived from the infrared transitions are fitted to the Watson effective Hamiltonian. A set of improved molecular constants are obtained.
