THE FAR ULTRAVIOLET (C–X) BANDS OF N2+
Keyword(s):
Emission bands of the N2+ C–X system in the vacuum ultraviolet have been obtained under high resolution. The rotational analysis confirms the assignment as a [Formula: see text] transition and the rotational constants obtained are in substantial agreement with previous investigations. The unusual intensity distribution in the ν′ = 3 progression and perturbations in the ν′ = 0, 1, and 2 levels of the C state are in agreement with the theory of inverse predissociation in the ν′ = 3 level.
