A rotational analysis of the 2780 Å emission band obtained in a microwave discharge through CCl4 vapor and photographed on a 20-ft grating spectrograph shows that a 2Δi(b) → 2Πr(a) transition of the CCl radical is responsible, not 2Σ → 2Π(a) as reported by previous workers. Molecular constants are given for the combining states, as well as a vibrational analysis that identifies the 2780 Å band as the (0–0) band.

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.

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.

A spectrum of triatomic hydrogen and deuterium was first discovered by means of an emission band with diffuse rotational structure near 5600 Å. An additional band of similar but much better resolved structure was subsequently observed near 6025 Å. The detailed analysis of these two bands for both H3 and D3 is described in this paper. Both bands are [Formula: see text] bands of a symmetric top; their structure establishes beyond doubt that triatomic hydrogen has a D3h structure in its Rydberg states. The molecular constants in upper and lower states are close to those in the ground state of H3+ (or D3+) in accordance with the assumption that these states are Rydberg states in which a single electron moves around a H3+ or D3+ core. The predicted states of such a Rydberg electron in a field of D3h symmetry account very well for the observed electronic states, both those involved in the [Formula: see text] bands described here and those involved in the [Formula: see text] bands to be discussed in subsequent papers of this series. The lowest state of the Rydberg electron 2p2E′ is unstable and dissociates to H2 + H in their ground states. It is this state that causes predissociation in the two lower states 2s2A1′and 2p2A2″ of the two [Formula: see text] bands here under discussion. The predissociation of 2s2A1′ is vibronically allowed and fairly strong such that all lines have widths of about 7 cm−1 for D3 and 30 cm−1 for H3. The predissociation of the 2p2A2″ state is vibronically forbidden and occurs only on account of ro-vibronic interaction. H3+ ions are assumed to be present in the interstellar medium. When they recombine with electrons they must necessarily emit the spectra described in this series of papers.

Observation by the author (Durie 1951) of a well-developed band system in the emission from an iodine–fluorine flame provided the first evidence for the existence of iodine monofluoride (IF), the last of the six possible diatomic inter-halogen compounds to be detected. The spectrum, which lies in the region 4 300 to 7 600 Å, has since been photographed under high resolution using a 21-ft concave grating spectrograph. The rotational structure of the bands is shown to be consistent with an A3Π0+ → X1Σ transition in the IF molecule. A rotational and vibrational analysis of the bands has been carried out and the molecular constants evaluated for IF. The results are as follows:[Formula: see text]The present evidence relating to the value of the dissociation energy of IF is discussed.

Six bands of the b1Σ+–X3Σ− transition of the PBr molecule have been observed in a microwave discharge of PBr3 + He. High resolution spectra have allowed the rotational analysis of the 0–0 and 1–1 bands. The principal molecular constants obtained are:X3Σ−: P79Br; ωe = 458.35 cm−1, Be = 0.16067 cm−1; P81Br; ωe = 457.78 cm−1, Be = 0.15958 cm−1; re = 2.1714 Å.B1Σ+: P79Br; ωe = 485.47 cm−1, Be = 0.16509 cm−1; P81Br; ωe = 483.84 cm−1, Be = 0.16399 cm−1; re = 2.1421 Å and Te = 11779.75 cm−1.

The emission spectrum of Si130Te was excited by microwave discharge (2450 MHz) in a sealed quartz tube. The A1Π–X1Σ+ band system (3100–3900 Å) (1 Å = 10−10 m) photographed under high resolution on a 10.6 m Ebert grating spectrograph. The rotational analysis of 32 bands was carried out, which led to the determination of the accurate vibrational and rotational constants. The rotational structure belonging to ν′ > 9 levels appear to be perturbed.

Twenty-three new violet degraded bands in the region λ 4100–4700 Å have been observed in emission from a microwave discharge through beryllium chloride and flowing xenon at total pressures near 200 Torr. The band system is attributed to the A2Π–X2Σ+ transition of the new molecule BeXe+. Approximate molecular constants are reported from the vibrational analysis. The observation and assignment of this spectrum of BeXe+ confirm our recent results on the BeAr+ and BeKr+ molecules, for which it was proposed that the ion-induced dipole interaction was largely responsible for the ground state binding energies.

A new system of the PO molecule in the region 4800–3800 Å has been obtained. Rotational analysis of its seven bands establishes the transition involved to be B′2Πi–X2Πr, where X2Πr is the known ground state of the molecule. The molecular constants of the lower and upper levels have been evaluated.

The emission spectrum of As32S+ and As34S+ has been excited in a quartz discharge tube by a 27 MHz oscillator. Vibrational isotope shifts have verified the vibrational quantum numbers of the upper and lower states. The 2–0, 1–0, 1–1, 0–1, 2–1, and 1–2 bands were chosen for the first rotational analysis of the As32S+ spectrum. The analysis has established that the transition is 1Π–1Σ. The principal molecular constants are as follows:[Formula: see text]Calculated dissociation energies based on the above constants and observed Tc suggest that X1Σ and A1Π have a common dissociation limit, As+(3P) + S(3P). In the upper state several perturbations have been found.
