Perdeutero-spiropentane (C5D8) has been synthesized and infrared spectra were taken from 400 to 4000 cm-1 at low sample pressures in a 22 meter multipass cell. The spectral resolution (0.0015 cm-1) reveals thousands of individual rovibrational transitions for several fundamental bands occurring in the spectral region of 500 to 1100 cm-1. C5D8 ground state constants reported in a previous study of a ?15 parallel band at 1054 cm-1 [1] were improved significantly in the present work by adding combination-differences derived from ?16 parallel and ?24 perpendicular band analyses. The larger data set at higher J values also allowed determination of the ground state K? = 2 splitting constant (?2? = 0.76(2) ×10-9 cm-1). For ?16, the band origin is 847.16933(5) cm-1 and changes in upper state rotational constants are ?A = –0.0013411(5) and ?B = –0.0002021(1) (in units of cm-1). Overlapping, and in Fermi resonance with ?16, is a second parallel band which, from Gaussian calculations at the anharmonic level, is assigned as the b2 combination ?8+?12, with band origin of 840.5434(1) and ?A = –0.0003500(7) and ?B = –0.0003502(1) cm-1. For ?24 analogous values are 556.41453(2) and ?A = –0.00032295(9) and ?B = –0.00016782(4) cm-1. The analyses also yields accurate values for the changes in both quartic and sextic centrifugal distortion constants and, for ?24, values for the l-doubling constants q+ and q-. Theoretical calculations of the rovibrational parameters aided in the analysis and the numerical values are in good agreement with experimental results.
