A new system belonging to the emission spectrum of PtO has been found in the region of 3800–4500 Å. This system has the earlier known X1Σ ground state as the lower state and a hitherto unknown 1Σ state, here designated the D1Σ state, as the upper state. The four lowest vibrational levels of the D1Σ state were rotationally analyzed. Of these levels, the [Formula: see text] level seems to be unperturbed although the v′ = 1, 2, and 3 levels are strongly perturbed.

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.

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.

Many bands of the [Formula: see text] electronic emission spectrum of H2O+, occurring in the wavelength region 4000–7500 Å, have been analyzed. These include bands that have been observed in the tails of comets. The wavelengths and wave numbers of all assigned lines are tabulated. Accurate rotational constants for the first three bending vibrational levels of the ground state are given, as well as energy levels in the upper and lower electronic states. The O—H bond distance and the H—O—H angle in the [Formula: see text] (0, 0, 0) level are found to be 0.9988 Å and 110.46° respectively. Some predicted microwave and infrared lines that may be of astrophysical interest are included.

Further results are presented concerning the three known systems of the molecule LuO; i.e., A2Π, B2Π, C2Σ+ → X2Σ+. The observed wavenumbers in each of the 12 analyzed bands are reduced using an iterative, least squares fitting procedure. Rotational constants are given for vibrational levels ν = 0 and 1 in the C state and up to ν = 7 in the X and B states. The 1–1 band of the A → X system is partly analyzed. These new calculations confirm level B to be the 3/2 component of a 2Π state; but they give no such confirmation for the identification of the A level, whose 2Π nature is well established, as the 1/2 component of the same state.Moreover, a unique band at 5120 Å that cannot be classified into any of the three known systems is described and attributed to a new system of LuO. A partial rotational analysis is made showing that the band corresponds to a transition involving the level ν = 0 in the ground state. The nature of the upper state is discussed.

A new system of weak emission bands in the region 3250–3700 Å is attributed to a transition from an excited triplet state of GeF2 to the ground state; the upper state bond angle is about 112°, and the bending frequency is 191 cm−1. The assignment of the carrier is based on isotopic evidence and the agreement of the lower state bending frequency with that found from the absorption spectrum of GeF2 by Hauge, Khanna, and Margrave.

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.

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.

In addition to the H3 and D3 bands previously analysed a strong and extensive band was observed near 5800 Å consisting of a large number of irregularly spaced sharp lines. This band can only be accounted for by transitions from the states derived from a 3d electron (2A1, 2E″, 2E′) to the 2p[Formula: see text] state which is also the lower state of the [Formula: see text] band at 6025 Å (paper I). The complexity of the spectrum arises from the interaction among the three component states brought about by uncoupling of the 3d electron from the symmetry axis, together with the perturbation of these states by the 3p[Formula: see text] state (the upper state of the diffuse [Formula: see text] band at 5600 Å). The 3d group of states emits also to the 3p2E′ state, giving rise to an infrared band at 3950 cm−1. The analysis of both the infrared and the visible band was carried out by means of an appropriate Hamiltonian written in terms of the rotational angular momentum R and the electronic orbital angular momentum L. On this basis the great majority of the lines have been assigned and sets of observed and calculated rotational levels have been evaluated. The agreement between observed and calculated levels, while good enough to leave no doubt in the electronic assignments, is not as good as might have been expected, most probably because of perturbations by vibrational levels of 3p2E′. These vibrational levels are not sufficiently well known and therefore cannot easily be included in the computation. Effective constants, for both H3 and D3, for the 3d group of states as well as the perturbing 3p[Formula: see text] state, have been evaluated. For several of these constants the ratio of the values for H3 and D3 deviates considerably from the theoretical ratio, suggesting a strong influence of additional perturbations.

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.
