The curvefit and vibrational assignment of toluene-d8 are presented as well as previous assignments. A total of 172 peaks are required to fit the experimental imaginary molar polarizability spectrum with CDHO bands. The R2-value is 0.9998 which indicates a near perfect fit. The area under the fitted spectrum is 0.3% larger than the area under the experimental spectrum. The integrated intensities of toluene-d8 are compared with those of toluene, benzene and several halogen substituted benzenes using the F-sum rule.
