A complete vibrational analysis has been made for glyoxal-h₂, -d₂ and hd. A reasonable set of force constants has been obtained using the general valence force field by the Wilson's F-G matrix method. Using these values other important molecular constants such as mean amplitudes of vibration, generalised mean-square amplitudes of vibration, shrinkage constants, Coriolis coupling constants, centrifugal distortion constants and thermodynamic properties have been computed and presented. A com­parison is made between the values obtained in the present investigation and the values available in literature.
