Heterogeneous perturbations 2E+ ~ 2Π of largely different magnitudes are observed with high resolution in the vacuum-ultraviolet absorption and in the infrared emission spectrum of the NO molecule. The rotational interactions between 2Σ+ Rydberg states and levels of the B2Π non-Rydberg state are shown to be "configurationally forbidden", but produced by the configuration interaction between the non-Rydberg levels and 2Π Rydberg states. The latter together with the 2Σ+ Rydberg states form p complexes. In this way the interactions display the l uncoupling in the complexes; they can be evaluated theoretically and can be analyzed fully. The cases of the strong interactions D2Σ+(v = 3) ~ B2Π(v = 16)and D2Σ+(v = 5) ~ B2Π(v = 21) and of the weaker D2Σ+(v = 1) ~ B2Π(v = 11), all three observed as perturbations in ε bands crossing 3 bands, are discussed in detail. It is further shown that perturbations between γ bands and β bands as well as perturbations between analogous bands of higher principal quantum number are absent, and thus the assignment of the A2Σ+ and E2Σ+ states to the s Rydberg series is confirmed.

AbstractTransient absorption spectroscopy is utilized extensively for measurements of bound- and quasibound-state dynamics of atoms and molecules. The extension of this technique into the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) region with attosecond pulses has the potential to attain unprecedented time resolution. Here we apply this technique to aligned-in-space molecules. The XUV pulses are much shorter than the time during which the molecules remain aligned, typically $$<$$<100 fs. However, transient absorption is not an instantaneous probe, because long-lived coherences re-emit for picoseconds to nanoseconds. Due to dephasing of the rotational wavepacket, it is not clear if these coherences will be evident in the absorption spectrum, and whether the properties of the initial excitations will be preserved. We studied Rydberg states of N$${}_{2}$$2 and O$${}_{2}$$2 from 12 to 23 eV. We were able to determine the polarization direction of the electronic transitions, and hence identify the symmetry of the final states.

The absorption spectrum of Cl2 in the vacuum ultraviolet region has been photographed with sufficient resolution to allow rotational analyses of many bands. The separated isotopic molecule 35Cl2 and cooled absorption cells were used to simplify the spectrum. A band system associated with an ionic state has been observed in the 1330–1450 Å range. Many large perturbations in the system prevent the determination of the usual rotational and vibrational constants. Some progress has been made in the analyses of a few bands associated with Rydberg states.

The absorption spectrum of F2 in the 780–1020 Å range has been photographed at sufficient resolution to allow a rotational analysis of many bands. A large number of vibrational levels of three ionic states have been observed and their rotational constants determined. Many perturbations in the rotational structure caused by the interaction between the three states have been investigated and the interaction energies determined. The rotational and vibrational structures of a few Rydberg states have also been analyzed in detail but no Rydberg series have been identified. The difficulties in assigning the observed states are discussed. A 1Σu+ – X1Σg+ emission band system has been observed in the 1100 Å region. An analysis of the bands of this system has allowed us to determine the term values and rotational constants of all the vibrational levels of the ground state with ν ≤ 22. The dissociation energy, D0(F2), is found to be greater than 12 830 and is estimated to be 12 920 ± 50 cm−1.

The absorption spectrum of cold NO gas has been photographed at high resolution between 1400 and 1250 Å for two isotopic species. Resolved bands of the Rydberg series converging to vibrational levels of the 1Σ+ ground state of NO+ are studied. They include nf–X bands up to n = 15 and ns–X bands up to n = 11, all of which show sharp rotational structure. The higher members of the np–X series are generally very diffuse with only npσ being sufficiently sharp to show broadened rotational lines. Also mostly diffuse are the ndδ–X bands. The bands ndσ, π–X are not observed. The rapidly (n−3) narrowing structure of the nf complexes is discussed and the ionization energy [Formula: see text] accurately determined by extrapolation of selected rotational lines. Interactions between Rydberg states are numerous, s ~ d mixing produces a strong effect above n = 6 when (n + 1)s levels fuse with nl levels into 'supercomplexes'. Matrix elements are given for observed 8f ~ 9s and 6f ~ 6dδ interactions.Valence levels are not observed above the ionization energy, except for the repulsive state A′2Σ+ arising from the first dissociation limit and seemingly assuming Rydberg character at molecular internuclear distance. Observed anomalies are qualitatively discussed.
