STRUCTURE OF THE BAND SPECTRUM OF CuCl MOLECULE: IV. ROTATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE D AND E SYSTEMS OF Cu65Cl35
Keyword(s):
The D and E band systems of Cu65Cl35, lying in the region 3900–4700 Å, have been photographed in emission under high resolution and rotational analysis of the (3,1), (2,0), (1,0), (0,0), and (0,1) bands of the D system and the (4,1), (3,0), (2,0), (1,0), (0,0), and (0,1) bands of the E system has been made. It has been assumed in the analysis that the D and E systems involve transitions 1Π (D1Π)−X1Σ and 1Σ (E1Σ)−X1Σ respectively. Fairly large Λ-doubling is observed in the D1Π state. Certain features in the E(0,0) band, which are not well understood, have been pointed out. The principal molecular constants obtained for the initial states of the D and E systems of Cu65Cl35 are as follows (cm−1):[Formula: see text]
