The band heads of the NS spectrum discovered in 1932 by Fowler and Bakker have been remeasured on plates taken on a large quartz spectrograph and on first order grating plates. The (0,0) and (0,1) γ bands have been photographed in the 6th, 8th, and 9th orders of a 21 ft. concave grating, and a rotational analysis of these bands has been carried out. For the ground state (2II) it was found that [Formula: see text] = 0.77364 cm−1, [Formula: see text] = 0.00612, and A = 223.03 cm.−1 For the upper state the value [Formula: see text] = 0.82670 was obtained.

The fine structures of three of the β bands of PO which occur near 3200 Å have been analyzed. The analysis shows that the upper state of this band system is a 2Σ and not a 2Π state as previously believed. The rotational constants of both electronic states have been determined and it is found that the ground state constants, previously determined from the γ bands, are incorrect.

If argon mixed with a small amount of NF3 is pumped rapidly through a mild discharge, a green glow is observed downstream from the discharge. This emission has been photographed with a high dispersion spectrograph and found to consist of a strong band with a head at 5 288 Å and a number of weaker bands. A rotational analysis of the bands has shown that they are the b1Σ+–X3Σ− bands of the NF molecule. The constants of the two states have been determined and it is found that for the ground state, ωe = 1 141.37 cm−1 and re = 1.317 3 Å.

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 emission spectrum of the AsS radical, excited in a quartz tube by a 2450 MHz oscillator, was photographed on a high resolution spectrograph from 2450 to 6900 Å. Seven bands around 6000 Å showing clear rotational structures were chosen for the first rotational analysis of the AsS spectrum. The bands were found to arise from a 2Π3/2–2Π3/2 transition. The rotational and vibrational constants of the two states derived from the present work are consistent with the previous vibrational analysis of the A′2Π3/2–X2Π3/2 system. The constants of the upper doublet component of the ground state, X2Π3/2, are ωe = 562.40 cm−1, ωexe = 2.02 cm−1, re = 2.0216 Å; the constants of the A′2Π3/2 state are ΔG′(1/2) = 403.37 cm−1, ν0,0 = 18 621.21 cm−1, re = 2.2500 Å.

The rotational structure of the (0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), and (1, 0) bands of the visible band system (A–X1) of PbF has been examined in the second order of a 21-ft concave grating spectrograph having a dispersion of 1.25 Å/mm. A rotational analysis of the bands has led to a determination of the rotational constants of the upper and lower states. From consideration of electron configurations it is suggested that the system arises from a [Formula: see text] transition which is a case c equivalent of [Formula: see text].

A new emission spectrum in the red region (6000–8000 Å) has been recorded from a low pressure hot cathode discharge through carbon disulfide. This band system has been assigned to the A2Πi–X2Σ+ transition of the CS+ molecular ion on the basis of the rotational analysis and comparison with other nine valence-electron molecules. Molecular constants have been obtained by direct least squares fits of the line frequencies to the difference of the eigenvalues of standard 2Π and 2Σ+ matrices.A local perturbation in the A2Πi (ν = 5) state has been studied quantitatively. The position of the perturbing vibrational level in the X2Σ+ state has been determined within a few centimetre−1. This study gave a consistent set of molecular constants for the ground state of CS+ and allowed a partial deperturbation treatment of the observed vibrational levels of the excited A2Πi state.Numerous bands are also observed in the 4000 Å region. A discussion is given concerning the possible assignment of bands at 4059 and 4110 Å to the CS+B2Σ+–A2Πi (0,0) transition.

A rotational analysis of the four bands (0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), and (0, 4) of the near ultraviolet system of BiO in the region λ 3 860–λ 3 130 Å has been carried out. The bands have been excited in a high-frequency discharge and photographed in the first order of a 21-ft concave-grating spectrograph (30 000 lines per inch) with a dispersion of 1.25 Å/mm. The analysis has shown that the bands arise from a case (c) 1/2(2Π1/2)–1/2(2II1/2) transition. The rotational constants of the upper and lower states have been determined.

The A–X band system of CuCl has been photographed in emission under high resolution in the 2nd order of a 10.6 m concave grating spectrograph. Rotational structure in four bands, viz. (1,0), (0,0), (0,1), and (1,2) has been analysed. The present analysis confirms that in the A–X system the electronic transition involved is 1Π–1Σ where 1Σ is the ground state of the molecule. The Λ-type doubling in the 1Π state is found to be appreciable. The molecular constants for the excited A state of 63Cu35Cl are (with standard deviations in parentheses): Be = 0.168432(7) cm−1; αe = 0.001067(7); De = 0.1134(11) × 10−6; q = 0.000871(9); qD = 0.85(18) × 10−8; ν10 = 19 500.271(8); ν00 = 18 999.104(7); ν01 = 18 579.735(10); and ν12 = 18 574.745(11).

The absorption spectrum of iodine chloride has been photographed in the high orders of a 10.7 m concave grating spectrograph in the region 1900–1220 Å. A number of band systems which correspond to Rydberg transitions have been obtained. In addition an extensive band system with closely spaced bands degraded to longer wavelengths has been observed in the region 1660–1580 Å. Among the Rydberg systems, 12 series have been found to converge to 81 362 ± 80 cm−1 which very likely represents the ionization potential of the molecule leading to the 2Π3/2 state of the molecular ion. They are due to transitions from the ground state to states arising from the configurations (σ2π4π32Π3/2)ns σ, (2Π3/2)np σ, (2Π3/2)np π, (2Π3/2)nd σ, (2Π3/2)nd π, (2Π3/2)nd δ, (2Π3/2)nf σ, (2Π3/2)nf π, and (2Π3/2)nf δ where n takes the running values 6, 7, 8, … for the first three configurations, 5, 6, 7, … for the next three configurations, and 4, 5, 6, … for the last three configurations. The first few numbers of 11 similar series corresponding to the transitions to the states involving the (σ2π4π32Π1/2) core have been identified and the ionization of these series is estimated to be at 85 996 ± 80 cm−1.
