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.

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 spectra of LiH and LiD have been observed in the near ultraviolet with high dispersion and absorbing path lengths up to 16 meters. A new band system has been found in each molecule involving the ground state and a 1Π excited state. Rotational and vibrational analyses of this system have been carried out and rotational and vibrational constants for the upper state have been determined. The observed breaking off of the rotational structure of the bands of this B1Π—X1Σ+ system has been interpreted as due to predissociation by rotation. With this assumption very accurate dissociation limits of the B1Π state have been obtained. From these dissociation limits the dissociation energies of the three known electronic states of LiH and LiD have been calculated. In particular the dissociation energies (D0) of the ground states of LiH and LiD have been found to be 2.4288 ± 0.0002 ev. and 2.4509 ± 0.0010 ev., respectively.

Seven bands ((0–0) – (0–6)) belonging to the Herzberg system of 13C18O have been recorded in emission using conventional photographic spectroscopy. For the first time, lines of this system have been recorded at high resolution and identified. After the rotational analysis of bands, the rotational constants of the C1Σ+ (ν = 0) and A1Π (ν = 0–6) states, as well as the vibrational constants of the A1Π state, have been determined. A combined analysis of the bands of the Herzberg and Ångström systems have made it possible to determine the constants of the B1Σ+ state more precisely. Numerous rotational perturbations observed in the A1Π state in this isotopic molecule have been analyzed.

The η bands of SiF, in the region 3300–3400 Å, have been photographed in emission at high resolution. A detailed rotational analysis has shown that these bands represent a 4Σ−–2Πτ transition. The lower state is the ground state of the molecule. The principal rotational constants of the upper and lower electronic states in cm−1 are as follows:[Formula: see text]A discussion of the electron configurations is also given.

The absorption spectrum of SO radicals produced by flash photolysis of a mixture of COS + O2 + Ar is investigated. A partial rotational analysis of the previously known bands of the B3Σ−–X3Σ− transition which lie in the region of 1900 to 2400 Å is presented, and the predissociations and perturbations of the B3Σ−state are discussed. A complex red-degraded band system near 2500 Å, previously observed in emission and attributed to SO2, is shown to be due to a 3Π–X3Σ− transition of the SO molecule. Effective rotational constants of the 3Π state are derived from the analysis of these bands photographed at high resolution. In order to obtain the vibrational numbering of the 3Π–X3Σ− bands, these were also photographed in emission from a microwave discharge through a mixture of S18O2 + S16O2. A general discussion of the currently known states of the SO molecule is given.

Rotational analysis of over 50 sub-bands of three emission transitions of 74GeF has given vibrational and rotational constants for the four lowest-lying electronic states of GeF. One of these is a 4Σ− state in Hund's case (a), where all four spin components have been identified. Extensive perturbations between this 4Σ− state and the B2Σ+ state have been analyzed in detail: the two states appear to interact mainly by a second-order mechanism through the so far uncharacterized σπ22Σ+ state, but the surprisingly large J dependence of the perturbation matrix element suggests that another mechanism, possibly involving the ground state, may contribute. Further perturbations, where the lines show an unusual intensity enhancement, appear in those sub-bands with B2Σ+ ν = 4 as upper state.

The absorption spectrum of CF2 in the 2 500 Å region has been photographed at high dispersion, and the rotational structure of a number of bands has been analyzed. The analysis of the well-resolved subbands establishes that these are perpendicular- rather than parallel-type bands, as previously assigned. Further analysis shows that the upper and lower electronic states are of 1B1 and 1A1symmetries respectively, corresponding to a transition moment that is perpendicular to the plane of the molecule. In the upper electronic state, r0(CF) = 1.32 Å and [Formula: see text], while in the ground state, r0(CF) = 1.300 Å and [Formula: see text]. An investigation of the vibrational structure of the band system has shown that the vibrational numbering in ν2′ must be increased by one unit from earlier assignments, thus placing the 000–000 band near 2 687 Å (37 220 cm−1). A search between 1 300 and 8 500 Å showed two new band systems near 1 350 and 1 500 Å which have been assigned tentatively to the CF2 molecule.

The strongly perturbed 1Π–X1Σ+ system of C80Se has been observed in the emission spectrum of a high frequency discharge through selenium and carbon traces in a neon atmosphere. The analysis of five bands yields, for the molecular constants of the ground state, the values Be″ = 0.5750 cm−1, [Formula: see text], αe″ = 0.00379 cm−1, re″ = 1.676 Å, ΔG″(1/2) = 1025.64 cm−1, and ΔG″(3/2) = 1015.92 cm−1. The numerous perturbations in the 1Π state prohibit the simple evaluation of the constants of the perturbed state and of the perturbing ones.

A rotational analysis of five bands, (1,0), (0,0), (0,1), (0.2), and (0,3), of the visible band system A of BiF has been carried out by photographing the bands under high dispersion (1.25 Å/mm). The analysis has shown that the bands arise from a 0+(3Σ−)–0+(3Σ−) transition. The rotational constants for the upper and lower states of the system are obtained.

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.
