Three new electronic transitions of the C2 molecule have been observed in absorption in the region 1300–1450 Å. The system of shortest wavelength is readily identified as a 1Πu–1Σg+ transition; the lower state is the ground state X1Σg+ of the molecule. The other two systems arise by absorption from the low-lying a3Πu state; the upper states are new 3Σg− and 3Δg states. Rotational and vibrational constants of the three new states have been determined. The new states are Rydberg states. Their correlation to the separated atoms is briefly discussed.

The absorption spectrum of Cl2 in the vacuum ultraviolet region has been photographed with sufficient resolution to allow rotational analyses of many bands. The separated isotopic molecule 35Cl2 and cooled absorption cells were used to simplify the spectrum. A band system associated with an ionic state has been observed in the 1330–1450 Å range. Many large perturbations in the system prevent the determination of the usual rotational and vibrational constants. Some progress has been made in the analyses of a few bands associated with Rydberg states.

The weaker electronic transitions in the region 2000–9000 Å in the emission spectrum of GeF have been photographed at high dispersion; three new transitions with the A2Σ+ state as lower state have been discovered, and the various systems near 2100 and 8600 Å have been reassigned. The spectra have been explained in terms of six excited states lying between 40 000 and 50 000 cm−1 above the ground state, and representative bands involving all six have been analyzed rotationally. Five of these excited states are Rydberg states (5pσ, 5pπ, 4dπ, 4dδ, and 6sσ), and the other is the σπ22Δ valence state; this latter interacts strongly with the 4dδ 2Δ state.

The rate constant of the reaction of ground state S(3P) atoms with molecular oxygen, S(3P) + O2(X3Σg−) → SO(X3Σ−) + O(3P), has been determined as (1.7 ± 0.2) × 1012 cm3 mol−s− at 298 °K by means of kinetic spectroscopy in the vacuum ultraviolet region. The source of S(3P) atoms was the isothermal flash photolysis of COS in the presence of Ar or CO2.

The absorption coefficients of NO2 in the region from 500 to 1100 Å are measured by a photographic method using the radiation from electron synchrotron as a background source. For the Rydberg series due to the transition from 4a1 to npπ, parameters q and Γ in Mies equation are obtained and the parameter q is determined to be −0.4 for every member and Γ 4.808/n*3 eV where n* is the effective quantum number.The absorption spectrum of NO2 in the region from 600 to 1600 Å are also analyzed. New vibrational progressions that are observed around 950 Å, are assigned to the excitations from 4b2 to ns Rydberg states (n = 3, 4, and 5) converging to the 1B2 ionic state. Assignments and discussions of many other Rydberg series that appear in the absorption spectrum between 600 and 1600 Å are also presented.

The absorption spectra of HCl and HF have been photographed at high dispersion in the vacuum ultraviolet region. In the HCl spectrum, many new band systems have been identified and 18 vibrational levels of the ionic B1Σ state have been observed. The B1Σ state is found to interact strongly with the Rydberg states. Although many bands have been analysed, much of the HCl spectrum remains unassigned. Analyses of bands associated with the lowest discrete 1Π and 3Π states of HF are presented together with the analyses of two 1Π–X1Σ band systems which lie between the first and second ionization limit. The spectrum of HF is very complex and little of it has been analysed even though the spectral lines are sharp and well resolved. The theoretical problems in understanding the spectra of HCl and HF are discussed.

The forbidden I1Σ−–X1Σ+ transition of CO has been observed in absorption at high resolution in the vacuum ultraviolet region. As expected for a 1Σ−–1Σ+ transition, the bands consist of single Q branches, in which the lines of lowest J are either missing or very weak. Although the selection rule prohibiting Σ−–Σ+ transitions is rigorous for dipole radiation at zero rotation, the I1Σ−–X1Σ+ transition can occur for higher rotational levels because of Coriolis interaction with the A1Π state, which lies very close to the I1Σ− state.Eight bands of the I–X system have been analyzed and from them the rotational and vibrational constants of the I1Σ− state have been determined. Previous information on this state was based entirely on the study of perturbations in the A1Π state. The corresponding perturbations in the I1Σ− state have now been observed. In addition, small "vibrational" perturbations in the ν = 4 and 5 levels (probably caused by interactions with the a3Π state) are found.
