scholarly journals The spectrum of rubidium hydride, RbH I. Analysis

The spectra of the diatomic hydrides of lithium, sodium and potassium have been studied both in absorption and in emission by several authors, LiH by Nakamura (1930, 1931) and Crawford and Jorgensen (1935), NaH by Hori (1930, 1931) and Olsson (1935), KH by Almy and Hause (1932) and Hori (1933), and recently Almy and Rassweiler (1938) have published details of the absorption spectrum of caesium hydride. All these hydrides show spectra of the “ many-line” type consisting of numerous overlapping bands with open rotational structure and no obvious heads. A rotational analysis shows that they all have the same type of electronic transition, 1Σ → 1Σ ,and are very strongly degraded towards the red. These spectra are all anomalous in that the frequency, ω´ v , and the rotational constant, B'v,increase at first with increasing initial vibrational quantum numbe v `.

A krypton ion laser operating at 6470 Å excites strong resonance fluorescence in nitrogen dioxide gas. The fluorescence bands have "parallel" structure (ΔK = 0) and are assigned to the electronically allowed subsystem of a 2B2–2A1 electronic transition. A partial rotational analysis is given for the upper state of the fluorescence bands, and their relationship to the absorption spectrum in the region 6000–11 500 Å is discussed.

A new electronic transition of SiH has been observed in absorption near 1907 Å in flash discharges through mixtures of SiH4 and H2. The rotational analysis shows this transition to be of the type 2Σ+−2Π. The corresponding transition of SiD has also been observed and analyzed. The D2Δ−X2Π transition near 2058 Å which was observed and analyzed by Verma in SiD has been measured here for SiH, where the lines are much broader on account of predissociation. The predissociation phenomena in SiH and SiD and the electron configurations are briefly discussed, and the presently known molecular constants of these molecules are summarized.


The absorption spectrum of gaseous hydrogen bromide has been photographed in the region 1180 to 1500 Å, using fourth and fifth orders of a 3 m grating. About forty bands have been observed. The resolving power sufficed for the study of most of the discrete rotational structure. The analysis reveals that few of the bands are related in vibrational progressions and shows rather that they are to be associated with atleast thirty new electronic states.

High-dispersion plates of the NO absorption spectrum have been studied between 1600 and 1390 Å for the three isotopic molecules N14O16, N15O16, and N14O18, and G2Σ−–X2Π bands were sorted out from the many overlapping bands in the spectrum. The well-defined band system satisfies the established isotope relations. In contrast with most of the other known NO band systems G2Σ−–X2Π shows almost no perturbations. Vibrational and rotational analyses gave the following constants for the G2Σ− state of N14O16: Te = 62911.7 cm−1; ωe = 1085.54 cm−1, ωexe = 11.083 cm−1, ωeye = −0.1439 cm−1, Be = 1.2523 cm−1, αe = 0.0204 cm−1, γe = 1.3426 Å. The combination defect observed in the G2Σ−–X2Π bands agrees with the defect found in the A2Σ+–X2Π(γ) bands except in sign, which is opposite. Therefore, the symmetry of the G state is confirmed as 2Σ−. The "pure precession" relation between G2Σ− and X2Π is found to hold for the Λ-type doubling of X2Π. The diffuse structure of the band assigned to ν = 10 indicates that G2Σ− is predissociated by a repulsive 2Σ− state dissociating into 2D(N)+3P(O) atoms at 71660 cm−1. The dissociation energy and electron configuration for G2Σ− are discussed.

An investigation of the absorption spectra of both 14NO2 and 15NO2 has revealed a long progression of red-degraded bands in the region 3 700–4 600 Å. The rotational analysis shows that these bands are the Ka = 0 ← 1 subbands of the electronic transition 2B1 ← 2A1. The interpretation of the bands is discussed, and a few remarks concerning the onset of predissociation at 3 979 Å are added.


The absorption spectrum of AgF in the region 300.0 to 355.0 nm consists of a continuum centred at about 303.0 nm and two-band systems, A0 + , and B0 + ← X 1 Ʃ + . Rotational analyses have been made for all seven bands observed in the A─X system and of four bands in the B─X system, for both 107 AgF and 109 AgF. State A seems to have a very low dissociation energy and may possess only two stable vibrational levels. Lines at high J appear diffuse, indi­cating predissociation, perhaps by rotation. State B is also predissociated and only the bands with v ' ═ 0 show sharp rotational structure. The predissociating state is probably an Ω ═ 1 state which is the upper state of the 303.0 nm continuum. Constants for the ground state of 107 AgF are as follows: G v ═ 513.447 ± 0.009 ( v + ½) ─ 2.593 ± 0.002 ( v + ½) 2 B v ═ 0.26567 ─ 0.001901± 8 ( v + ½).

The F–X band system of Cu65Cl35 extending from 3700 to 4200 Å has been photographed in emission under high resolution. Rotational analysis of the (3,0), (2,0), (1,0), (0,0), (0,1), and (0,2) bands of the system has been made. The electronic transition involved is found to be 1Π–1Σ. The Λ-type doubling in the 1Π state is negligible. The principal molecular constants obtained are as follows (cm−1 units)[Formula: see text]

The absorption spectrum of 18O2 has been photographed with a 6.65 m normal incidence type vacuum spectrograph in the 1070–1300 Å region. Rotational structures of the following bands have been analyzed; 1–0, 2–0, 3–0, and 4–0 of α1Σu+ ← X3Σg−; 2–0and 3–0 of β3Σu+ ← X3Σg−; and a strong band at 1246 Å. The upper state of the 1246 Å band is determined to have 3Σu− symmetry, and the transition is designated E3Σu− ← X3Σg−. These three upper states are Rydberg in character, with electron configuration (πu2p)4(πg2p)(3pπ). The observed rotational constants of the α1Σu+ and β3Σu+ states are nearly identical to those of the X2Πg state of O2+ to which these three Rydberg states converge. However, the rotational constant of the E3Σu− state, B1 = 1.3702 cm−1, is much smaller than the value B1 = 1.4764 cm−1 for the X2Πg state of 18O2+ estimated from the corresponding 16O2+ value. A brief discussion of this discrepancy is given.

Abstract A rotational analysis of several bands of the D←X system of 123Sb−123Sb is carried out. It is shown that the hitherto assumed vibrational classification of the D←X system is certainly incorrect, as well as a previously given value for the rotational constant of the X state. B(X1∑g+, ν=0) is found equal to 0.044263 cm-1. The perturbations appearing in the various vibrational levels are interpreted in terms of interactions with a new electronic state, labelled L.
