Two band systems attributed to the P2+ molecule have been excited in a hollow cathode discharge tube. The first of these is a 2Π—2Π band system lying in the region 3400–3850 Å. The lower state of this system probably is the ground state of the P2+ molecule. The second system is a 2Σ—2Σ system lying in the region 3900–4400 Å. High resolution spectra of both the band systems have been analyzed and the rotational and vibrational constants determined.

The emission spectrum of the AsS radical, excited in a quartz tube by a 2450 MHz oscillator, was photographed on a high resolution spectrograph from 2450 to 6900 Å. Seven bands around 6000 Å showing clear rotational structures were chosen for the first rotational analysis of the AsS spectrum. The bands were found to arise from a 2Π3/2–2Π3/2 transition. The rotational and vibrational constants of the two states derived from the present work are consistent with the previous vibrational analysis of the A′2Π3/2–X2Π3/2 system. The constants of the upper doublet component of the ground state, X2Π3/2, are ωe = 562.40 cm−1, ωexe = 2.02 cm−1, re = 2.0216 Å; the constants of the A′2Π3/2 state are ΔG′(1/2) = 403.37 cm−1, ν0,0 = 18 621.21 cm−1, re = 2.2500 Å.

The Lyman bands of H2 have been investigated under high resolution with a view to improving the rotational and vibrational constants of H2 in its ground state. Precise Bv and ΔG values have been obtained for all vibrational levels of the ground state. One or two of the highest rotational levels of the last vibrational level (v = 14) lie above the dissociation limit. Both the [Formula: see text] and ΔG″ curves have a point of inflection at about v″ = 3. This makes it difficult to represent the whole course of each of these curves by a single formula and therefore makes the resulting equilibrium constants somewhat uncertain. This uncertainty is not very great for the rotational constants for which we find[Formula: see text]but is considerable for the vibrational constants ωe and ωexe for which three-, four-, five-, and six-term formulae give results diverging by ± 1 cm−1. The rotational and vibrational constants for the upper state [Formula: see text] of the Lyman bands are also determined. An appreciable correction to the position of the upper state is found.

The 2800 Å band system of p-dibromobenzene has been photographed under high resolution and an extended vibrational analysis has been carried out. The analysis is not inconsistent with the assignment of the system to a 1B2u ← 1Ag transition, by analogy with other p-dihalogenated benzenes. The observed spectrum can be explained in terms of a number of strong type-B vibronic bands and a considerably smaller number of type-A vibronic bands. The extensive sequence structure is adequately accounted for, and can be related to observations on other halogenated benzene molecules. Thirteen ground state and nine excited state fundamental vibrational frequencies have been assigned.

Five bands of a new band system of P2 have been photographed at high dispersion and analyzed. The upper state of the system is a 1П0 state and lies lower than any previously known excited singlet state. The lower state of the new system is the ground state of P2 and the analysis of the new bands has given improved constants for this state. The new system appears to be the analogue of the Lyman–Birge–Hopfield bands of N2. The electron configuration of the low excited states of P2 and of related molecules is discussed.

A rotational analysis has been performed on the 0–0 band of the A2Π–X2Σ+ transition of the BeBr molecule photographed at high resolution in emission from a beryllium hollow cathode in the presence of bromine vapor. The following principal molecular constants have been determined:[Formula: see text]

In a discharge through helium, to which a small trace of benzene vapour is added, a new band system of the type 1Π – 1Σ is found which is shown to be due to the CH+ molecule. The R(0) lines of the 0–0, 1–0, and 2–0 bands of the new system agree exactly with the hitherto unidentified interstellar lines 4232.58, 3957.72, 3745.33 Å, thus proving that CH+ is present in interstellar space. At the same time this observation of the band system in absorption shows that the lower state 1Σ is the ground state of the CH+ molecule. The new bands are closely analogous to the 1II – 1Σ+ BH bands. The analysis of the bands leads to the following vibrational and rotational constants of CH+ in its ground state: [Formula: see text], Be″ = 14.1767, αe″ = 0.4898 cm.−1. The internuclear distance is re″ = 1.1310∙10−8 cm. (for further molecular constants see Table V). From the vibrational levels of the upper 1Π state the heat of dissociation of CH+ can be obtained within fairly narrow limits: D0(CH+) = 3.61 ± 0.22 e.v. From this value the ionization potential of CH is derived to be I(CH) = 11.13 ± 0.22 e.v. The bearing of this value on recent work on ionization and dissociation of polyatomic molecules by electron impacts is briefly discussed.
