The study of the absorption spectrum of the NO molecule has been continued on plates taken in the fourth order of a 10.5-m vacuum spectrograph. The spectra of 14N16O, 15N16O, 14N18O, and 15N18O gases, each kept at liquid-oxygen temperature, were photographed separately. Rotational analyses were carried out for many bands observed below 1 600 Å. Constants for levels of the Rydberg complexes 3p, 4s, 4p, and 5s have been derived. These levels include ν = 5 and ν = 6 of the C2Π state, levels that interact with the levels ν = 21 and 24 respectively of the configurationally different B2Π state. It is shown that the vibrational levels, now well established above the energy where the potential curves of the C and B states cross, are to be attributed to "crossing" curves.The level ν = 4 of the L2Π state, which was discerned in the spectra of the heavier isotopes only, coincides in 14N16O with the level ν = 6 of C2Π and produces a strong three-level perturbation. The level, perturbed in this way, has the appearance of a separate electronic state in 14N16O and at one time was so identified.Many interaction energies are determined, and the new systems of "deper-turbed" levels are thoroughly discussed.

The absorption spectrum of F2 in the 780–1020 Å range has been photographed at sufficient resolution to allow a rotational analysis of many bands. A large number of vibrational levels of three ionic states have been observed and their rotational constants determined. Many perturbations in the rotational structure caused by the interaction between the three states have been investigated and the interaction energies determined. The rotational and vibrational structures of a few Rydberg states have also been analyzed in detail but no Rydberg series have been identified. The difficulties in assigning the observed states are discussed. A 1Σu+ – X1Σg+ emission band system has been observed in the 1100 Å region. An analysis of the bands of this system has allowed us to determine the term values and rotational constants of all the vibrational levels of the ground state with ν ≤ 22. The dissociation energy, D0(F2), is found to be greater than 12 830 and is estimated to be 12 920 ± 50 cm−1.

Five electronic transitions, C2Σ+–X2Π, I2Σ+–X2Π, E2Π–X2Π, J2Σ+–X2Π, and F2Δ–X2Π of NS have been observed in the region 1750–2400 Å. The complete analysis of these transitions has been carried out. The molecular constants of the C2Σ+, E2Π, J2Σ+, and F2Δ Rydberg states are given. Many perturbations in the rotational structures (ν = 1 and 2 of C2Σ+, ν = 0 of E2Π) and predissociations in the levels ν = 0 J2Σ+ and F2Δ are observed. The perturbation in the level ν = 0 of the E2Π state is described, the perturbing level being ν = 11 of the H2Π valence state.The most important results are given in the tables of constants. An energy level diagram and potential curves show the relative position of the different states. All the observed states of NS are finally compared with those of PO.

A rotational analysis of the D–X and D′–X band systems of PO in the region 1900–2100 Å has been reinvestigated from an absorption spectrum taken at high resolution. A new ν = 1 vibrational level of the D2Π state of PO interacting with a new vibrational level of the D′2Π state has been studied in detail. Two other new vibrational levels, ν = 2 and 3, of D2Π have been recorded and studied in detail. A rigorous deperturbation of the D and D′ levels has been carried out. It has been shown that D′2Π and B′2Π are one and the same state of the PO molecule. A new band overlapped by the D′–X, 26–0 band has been attributed to the B2Σ+–X2Π transition.

The ungerade singlet states of molecular nitrogen observed up to 115 000 cm−1 have traditionally been designated with some 20 letter symbols. It is shown that these levels do not belong to 20 different electronic states but that all of them can be ordered into six vibrational progressions of three valence states: b1Πu (j, b, d, m, p, q), b′ 1Σu+ (b′, g, g′, f, r), d′(1Σu− or 1Δu?), and of three Rydberg states: c1Πu (l, d″), c′ 1Σu+ (p′, r′, k, s′, h, h′), and o1Πu. The new assignments of observed levels to the states b, b′, c, and c′ are identical with those given by Carroll and Collins on the basis of new high-resolution studies of the absorption spectrum. It is shown here, that the irregularities of the vibrational intervals, rotational constants, isotope shifts, and intensity distributions within these progressions can be interpreted quantitatively on the basis of homogeneous interactions between valence and Rydberg states of the same species, especially between the pairs of states b1Πu + c1Πu and b′ 1Σu+ + c′ 1Σu+. Approximate quantitative deperturbations of the vibrational structures of these four electronic states are derived from a new set of deperturbation criteria, and the resultant potential curves, the electron configurations, and the observed predissociations are discussed. The deperturbation results for the b′ and c′ states are tested in more quantitative detail by Lefebvre-Brion in the adjoining paper.

Rotational analyses have been carried out, with varying degrees of completeness, for nine bands of S16O2 and two bands of S18O2 in the region 3000–3300 Å. The bands are all highly perturbed type C bands, which go to b2 vibrational levels of the ππ* Ã1A2 electronic state. The [Formula: see text] electronic transition shows an anomalous vibrational intensity distribution, which indicates that the Ã1A2 state undergoes strong Born–Oppenheimer (nuclear momentum) vibronic coupling with the [Formula: see text] electronic state. All the obvious banded structure in this wavelength region can be assigned to the [Formula: see text] transition. Although no analyses of bands belonging to the [Formula: see text] transition have been carried out (since the [Formula: see text] state is so massively perturbed by the ground state), reasons are presented for placing its (0,0) band between 3100 and 3160 Å.

The electronic emission and absorption spectrum of HF has been photographed at high resolution with a 10 m grating spectrograph. The emission, which extends from 2670 to 1480 Å, consists entirely of bands of the B1Σ+–X1Σ+ (previously denoted as the V1Σ+–X1Σ+)system. From the analysis of 51 bands of the emission spectrum, constants of the vibrational levels of the X state from ν = 7 and 19 and of the B state from ν = 0 to 10 have been determined. The dissociation energy of HF has been found to be D0(HF) = 47 333 ± 60 cm−1. In the absorption spectrum, 56 bands of the B–X system have been identified. Vibrational levels of the B state between ν = 14 and 26 were found to be well behaved and readily analyzed, but levels between ν = 26 and 73 were found to be highly perturbed. Rydberg–Klein–Rees potential curves have been calculated for the B and X states and it is shown that at large internuclear distances the bonding of the B state is almost entirely ionic.

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.
