The analysis of the near-infrared spectrum of monodeuterated methane (CH3D) near 6400 cm-1 and 5100 cm-1 is presented as the first of a series of papers dealing with laboratory studies of this molecule and with observational searches for it in outer solar system objects. Three new parallel bands which have locally perturbed upper states connecting with the ground state are identified, and approximate rotational constants are derived. The band centered near 6425 cm-1 and the 9613 Å band are found to form an apparent vibrational progression with the ν2 fundamental at 2200 cm-1, and vibrational assignments of 3ν2 and 5ν2, respectively, are proposed.
