Chlorine B 3Π(0u+) state lifetimes have been measured by laser-induced fluorescence in several predissociated (υ′ = 14–19,21) and non-predissociated (υ′ = 5–12) levels. Trial and error Franck-Condon calculations have been performed to check the nature and position of the predissociating state. The results have been used to give a value of Re for the A 3Π(1u) state responsible for predissociation, Re = 2.48 ± 0.01 Å. The obtained data show that interference effects due to crossing between B and A states modify the lifetimes of the B state appreciably. The inadequacy of the low-lying vibrational levels region, i.e. υ′ < 8, to measure the radiative lifetime of the B state (τR(B)) is shown. Previous values for τR(B) can therefore be affected by considerable errors.

The intensity of NO2 resonance fluorescence excited at several wavelengths in the range 5930–6480 Å has been measured as a function of final state vibrational quantum numbers. Calculations based on these Franck–Condon profiles establish the relative vibrational assignments of five bands in the [Formula: see text] system. In one case, the similarities between a Ka = 1 and a Ka = 6 profile lead to a value of the à 2B2A rotational constant of ~3.0 cm−1. The influence of Franck–Condon profiles on the radiative lifetime of pure à 2B2 states is investigated.


Nine vibrational absorption bands of dideutero-acetylene have been examined with very high resolving power. The rotational constants have been determined for the vibrational levels concerned, and the coefficients α i have been determined with more convincing accuracy than previously. In some of the bands the Q branches have been resolved, so that the l -doubling coefficients q i could be derived, and details could be established about the doublet components in some II levels. The results emphasize the need of high resolution if the vibrational assignments are to be unambiguous, and if reliable values of the rotational constants are to be derived. A value of B e has been obtained, and the vibrational anharmonicity coefficients have been considered briefly. Estimates of the centrifugal stretching constants D i in different vibrational states have been made, and one anomalous case has been found.

The energy of photoelectrons ejected by 21.21 eV quanta of the He resonance line is measured with a retarding potential method at a resolution of 40 meV. Vibrational structure of the molecular ions H2+, D2+, O2+, N2+, NO+, CO2+, N2O+ H20, and HC ≡ CH+ is resolved and experimental values of the FRANCK-CONDON factors for the transitions into these vibrational levels are given.

Total deactivation rate constants have been determined for N2+(B2Σu+) and the (A2Πu) and (B2Σu+) states of CO2+ with a number of quenchers. The energy specific total deactivation rate constant is compared to the total radiative lifetime of the excited species. A particular novelty of the technique is that it does not require a complete knowledge of the formation modes for the excited species. The results are compared with theoretical values obtained from the ion-induced dipole model. Individual deactivation rate constants are presented for N2+(B2Σu+) ions in the v = 0, 1, and 2 vibrational levels quenched by N2, O2, H2, and CO2; and for the(A2Πu) and (B2Σu+) states of CO2+ quenched byCO2, N2, O2, NO, and H2. Charge transfer is the most probable mode of deactivation except in the CO2+–H2 reactions where H-atom abstraction is more probable.
