A new analysis of the nu3, nu6, and nu4 interacting bands of D2CO has been carried out in the 8-12 µm region using high resolution Fourier transform spectra recorded at Giessen. As compared to the previous study of these bands, improvements were obtained in the present analysis. In order to get the upper state parameters (band centers, rotational and coupling constants), the resulting nu3, nu6, and nu4 experimental energy levels were introduced in a least squares fit calculation together with the microwave measurements available in the literature. In this calculation, which allowed to reproduce both the infrared and microwave measurements within their experimental accuracies, the A- B- and C- Coriolis type interactions involving nu4 and nu6, nu3 and nu4, and nu3 and nu6 respectively were explicitly taken into account.
