Electric field induced anticrossings and X-band microwave transitions have been observed between the magnetically tuned Zeeman levels of the d (3p) /sup 3/Pi/subu/, v=3, N=1 and the i (3d) /sup 3/Pi/subg/, v=3, N=1 levels of para D/sub 2/. This experiment provides the second, and most precise, interconnection between the two sets of D/sub 2/ triplets which are not connected by visible spectra. The separation between the above named states is 0.8960 +- 0.0003 cm/sup -1/. Values for the spin--orbit coupling constant, the spin--spin coupling constant, and the orbital angular momentum g factor in the 3d /sup 3/Pi/subg/ state have been determined. These values show strong L uncoupling effets and indicate that the D/sub 2/ i (3d) /sup 3/Pi/subg/ state is intermediate between Hund's case b and d coupling. (AIP)
