A system of three red degraded bands at 3854, 4228, and 3567 Å has been obtained in emission from a hollow cathode discharge through helium containing a little phosphorus vapor and hydrogen. Rotational analyses of the bands show that they are the 0–0, 0–1, and 1–0 bands of a 2Δ—2Π transition of the PH+ molecule. The 2Δ state is regular with small spin splitting (case b) while the 2Π state is regular with large spin splitting (case a). For ν = 0, the F1 levels of the 2Δ state with [Formula: see text] and the F2 levels with [Formula: see text] are predissociated. Also the lines arising from the F1 levels of the 2Δ state with ν = 1 are found to be extremely weak compared to those arising from the F2 levels. Vibrational and rotational constants have been determined and the dissociation energy has been found to be 3.06 ± 0.25 ev.

The spectrum of the CN radical has been investigated in the Schumann region using a three-meter vacuum spectrograph in the fourth order. A hollow cathode discharge through streaming helium, to which a trace of cyanogen was added, was used as source. Three new systems of bands were found in the region 1650–2100 Å. These involve two hitherto unknown states: a 2Σ state designated by E, which gives rise to the transitions E2Σ → X2Σ and E2Σ → A2Π, and an inverted 2Δ state designated by J, which gives rise to the transition J2Δ → A2Π. Rotational analyses of the bands have been made and the molecular constants evaluated. The new data, although not decisive, support the higher value (8.2 ev.) for the dissociation energy of CN.

The B2Σ+ → A2Σ+ and C2Σ+ → A2Σ+ systems of OH and OD were photographed at high resolution. The apparent dissociation energy D0(A2Σ+) is calculated to be (18 847 ± 15) cm−1 for OH and (19 263 ± 15) cm−1 for OD. An upper limit to D0(X2Π3/2) of OH is deduced to be (35 420 ± 15) cm−1. Evidence for a potential maximum in the B2Σ+ state, which is about 100 cm−1 larger than that in the A2Σ+ state, is presented.The broadening of the rotational lines in several bands of both systems has established a strong predissociation of the A2Σ+ state near ν = 5 in OH. The lifetime of these predissociated levels is ≈10−11 s. A definite identification of the predissociating state has not been possible.Newly-discovered vibrational levels in the C2Σ+ state have led to the following constants, in cm−1, of the OH radical in the C2Σ+ state:[Formula: see text]Rotational constants and spin splitting constants in the A2Σ+ and B2Σ+ states, more accurate than previously available, are presented.

The A1II–X1Σ+ transition of the SiH+ molecule has been observed in the emission spectrum of a hollow-cathode discharge through helium containing a trace of silane. The analysis of five bands yields the molecular constants Bc″ = 7.6603 cm−1, ΔG″(1/2) = 2088.69 cm−1, Bc′ = 4.9125 cm−1, ΔG′(1/2) = 390.17 cm−1, and v(0–0) = 25 025.20 cm−1. Because of the shallowness of the upper-state potential curve, a good estimate of the dissociation limit is obtained: D00(SiH+) = 3.20 ± 0.08 eV. This dissociation limit leads to an ionization potential of 8.01 ± 0.08 eV of SiH. The SiH+ molecule is tentatively identified in the solar spectrum and the possibility of detecting interstellar SiH+ is briefly discussed.

The emission spectrum of the b′3Σu−–X1Σg+ system between 3540–4375 Å and ascribed previously by Mrozowski and Santaram to the a3Σu+–X1Σg+ transition of the P2 molecule, has been photographed under high resolution. The rotational analysis of 7 bands has been carried out and allowed us to determine the rotational constants of the vibrational levels ν′ = 0, 1, and 2 as well as the spin splitting constants λ′ and γ′. The nature of the upper state has been identified as a 3Σu− state, the electronic transition being analogous to the Ogawa–Tanaka–Wilkinson system of N2.

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.
