Several bands of the D2Σ+ – A2Πi and C2Πr – A2Πi transitions of AlO have been photographed at high resolution and analyzed for the rotational structure. Rotational structure in the vibrational levels ν = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the common lower electronic state A2Πi has been investigated for the first time. Rotational perturbations have been observed in the A2Πi state. The equilibrium rotational constants of the A2Πi state are Be = 0.53705 cm−1 and αe = 0.00491 cm−1.

Several bands of the C2Πr – X2Σ+transition of AlO in the region 2800–3400 Å have been photographed at high resolution. A unique and unambiguous analysis of the rotational structure has been done for the first time for the 2–0, 1–0, 2–1, 0–0, 1–1, 0–1, 1–2, and 0–2 bands of this system. Fairly accurate rotational constants Beff and Deff have been determined for the ν = 2, 1, and 0 levels of the C2Πr state. Severe rotational perturbations have been observed in the C2Π, state.Equilibrium rotational constants (in cm−1) of the C2Π, state are Be ≈ 0.6049 and αe ≈ 0.0046.

The 0–0 band of the B2Σ+–A2Πr system of MgCl near 4730 Å has been photographed at high resolution and analyzed for its rotational structure for the first time. Rotational constants have been determined for the B state, which is shown to be 2Σ+. Rotational perturbations have been observed in the F2 sublevels for J < 42.5 and in the F1 sublevels for J ≤ 16.5 of the B2Σ+ state.

The A2Π–X2Σ+ system of MgCl has been photographed at high resolution and analyzed for the rotational structure. Analysis of the low-frequency sub-bands of the 0–0, 0–1, and 0–2 bands showed that there is a nonzero Λ doubling in the common vibrational level ν′ = 0, thereby indicating that the A2Π state is regular and not inverted as presumed by earlier workers. Spin-doubling has been seen in the ν = 1 and 2 levels of the X2Σ+ state. Rotational analysis of the high-frequency sub-band has also been done for the 0–0 band.

The B2Σ+ → A2Σ+ and C2Σ+ → A2Σ+ systems of OH and OD were photographed at high resolution. The apparent dissociation energy D0(A2Σ+) is calculated to be (18 847 ± 15) cm−1 for OH and (19 263 ± 15) cm−1 for OD. An upper limit to D0(X2Π3/2) of OH is deduced to be (35 420 ± 15) cm−1. Evidence for a potential maximum in the B2Σ+ state, which is about 100 cm−1 larger than that in the A2Σ+ state, is presented.The broadening of the rotational lines in several bands of both systems has established a strong predissociation of the A2Σ+ state near ν = 5 in OH. The lifetime of these predissociated levels is ≈10−11 s. A definite identification of the predissociating state has not been possible.Newly-discovered vibrational levels in the C2Σ+ state have led to the following constants, in cm−1, of the OH radical in the C2Σ+ state:[Formula: see text]Rotational constants and spin splitting constants in the A2Σ+ and B2Σ+ states, more accurate than previously available, are presented.

The ultraviolet spectrum of cyclobutanone vapor has been recorded under conditions of high resolution. The oxygen wagging vibrational levels have been found to be strongly anharmonic in the 1A2 electronic state and have been fitted to a double minimum potential function.

The pure rotational Raman spectrum of nitric oxide has been recorded for the first time under high resolution. Analysis of the S-branch transitions yields values of 1.69614 cm−1 and 5.46 × 10−6 cm−1 for the rotational constants B0 and D0, respectively. A series of R-branch lines is observed and is shown to arise from transitions between levels in the 2Π3/2 substate. Some weaker R-branch lines arising from the 2Π1/2 state are also observed. A very weak feature approximately 120 cm−1 from the exciting line is interpreted as the 2Π3/2–2Π1/2 transition.



Seven vibration-rotation bands of nitrous oxide have been measured with high resolution. The rotational fine structure of each has been analyzed and rotational constants have been derived. The value for B 000 found from four bands is 0·4190 1 cm -1 , agreeing very closely with that determined from the microwave spectrum. Values for the coefficients α i for the different vibrational levels have been determined, and the occurrence of inconsistencies in the calculated values of B v 1 v 2 v 3 for higher vibrational levels confirms previous suggestions that resonance interactions may exist between different levels. Such interactions appear also to disturb the positions of the band origins.



The vibrational absorption bands of carbonyl sulphide 12 C 16 O 33 S near 5 μ have been examined using very high resolving power. Rotational fine structure has been resolved for the first time; six bands have been studied, including two associated with the isotopic species 13 C 16 O 33 S, and a rotational analysis of each has been carried out. Values have been derived for the rotational constants B and D in the different vibrational levels, and these have been compared with the results obtained from the microwave spectrum for the lower states. It has been found that the location of certain bands, and the rotational constants B are affected by Fermi resonance and Coriolis interaction, and estimates of the unperturbed values have been made.

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.



Some vibration-rotation bands of monodeuteroacetylene have been measured with high resolution. Values have been derived for the coefficients α i relating the rotational constants in different vibrational levels, as follows: α 2 = + 0⋅00439, α 3 = + 0⋅00638, α 4 = — 0⋅0032 2 , α 5 = — 0⋅0011. Using the value B 00000 = 0⋅9910 5 cm -1 , also determined from many bands, a new value, B e = 0⋅9948, has been obtained leading to new estimates for the bond lengths r e CH = 1⋅058 Å, and r e C≡C = 1⋅205 0 . The l -doubling coefficient has been determined in two states, namely, q 00010 = 0⋅0056 and q 00003 = 0⋅0072. In the ground state the results are in accordance with a centrifugal stretching coefficient D = 0⋅7 x 10 -6 , but in some higher levels a markedly different value is derived, which may, however, arise through the effects of Fermi resonance.
