STRUCTURE OF THE BAND SPECTRUM OF CuCl MOLECULE: II. ROTATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE F–X BAND SYSTEM OF Cu65Cl35

Abstract

The F–X band system of Cu65Cl35 extending from 3700 to 4200 Å has been photographed in emission under high resolution. Rotational analysis of the (3,0), (2,0), (1,0), (0,0), (0,1), and (0,2) bands of the system has been made. The electronic transition involved is found to be 1Π–1Σ. The Λ-type doubling in the 1Π state is negligible. The principal molecular constants obtained are as follows (cm−1 units)[Formula: see text]
