When a mixture of N2 and Cl2 is pumped rapidly through a mild microwave discharge, an orange afterglow is observed downstream from the discharge. The spectrum of this weak emission consists of a prominent double-headed band, the strongest head lying at 6 648.6 Å, and a number of weaker similar bands forming three sequences. Observed isotopic shifts have been used to identify the emitter as NCl. The rotational analysis of the strongest (0–0) band, photographed with high resolution, shows that these bands represent the b1Σ+–X3Σ− transition of the NCl molecule. The vibrational and rotational constants were determined for both states; we find ωe′ = 935.6 cm−1, ωo″ = 827.0 cm−1, γ0′ = 1.565 3 Å, and γ0″ = 1.608 3 Å.

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.

The absorption spectrum of SO radicals produced by flash photolysis of a mixture of COS + O2 + Ar is investigated. A partial rotational analysis of the previously known bands of the B3Σ−–X3Σ− transition which lie in the region of 1900 to 2400 Å is presented, and the predissociations and perturbations of the B3Σ−state are discussed. A complex red-degraded band system near 2500 Å, previously observed in emission and attributed to SO2, is shown to be due to a 3Π–X3Σ− transition of the SO molecule. Effective rotational constants of the 3Π state are derived from the analysis of these bands photographed at high resolution. In order to obtain the vibrational numbering of the 3Π–X3Σ− bands, these were also photographed in emission from a microwave discharge through a mixture of S18O2 + S16O2. A general discussion of the currently known states of the SO molecule is given.

The 0–0, 1–1, 2–2, and 0–1 bands of the b1Σ+–X3Σ− transition of the SO molecule have been observed in the afterglow produced when COS + O2 is pumped rapidly through a microwave discharge. The two strongest bands, 0–0 and 1–1, which lie respectively at 9549.08 and 9626.13 Å, have been photographed at high resolution and have been analyzed. Using the known X3Σ− rotational constants, the vibrational and rotational constants of the 1Σ+ state (Tc = 10 509.97 cm−1) have been determined: ωc′ = 1067.66 cm−1, Bc′ = 0.70262 cm−1, and rc′ = 1.5005 Å. Rotational intensity distributions for 1Σ+–3Σ− transitions are discussed. The a1Δ state of SO is predicted to lie at T ~ 6350 cm−1.

Six bands of the b1Σ+–X3Σ− transition of the PBr molecule have been observed in a microwave discharge of PBr3 + He. High resolution spectra have allowed the rotational analysis of the 0–0 and 1–1 bands. The principal molecular constants obtained are:X3Σ−: P79Br; ωe = 458.35 cm−1, Be = 0.16067 cm−1; P81Br; ωe = 457.78 cm−1, Be = 0.15958 cm−1; re = 2.1714 Å.B1Σ+: P79Br; ωe = 485.47 cm−1, Be = 0.16509 cm−1; P81Br; ωe = 483.84 cm−1, Be = 0.16399 cm−1; re = 2.1421 Å and Te = 11779.75 cm−1.

Seven bands ((0–0) – (0–6)) belonging to the Herzberg system of 13C18O have been recorded in emission using conventional photographic spectroscopy. For the first time, lines of this system have been recorded at high resolution and identified. After the rotational analysis of bands, the rotational constants of the C1Σ+ (ν = 0) and A1Π (ν = 0–6) states, as well as the vibrational constants of the A1Π state, have been determined. A combined analysis of the bands of the Herzberg and Ångström systems have made it possible to determine the constants of the B1Σ+ state more precisely. Numerous rotational perturbations observed in the A1Π state in this isotopic molecule have been analyzed.

A rotational analysis has been performed on the 0–0, 1–1, 1–0, and 2–1 bands of the A2Π–X2Σ+ band system of the BeCl molecule photographed at high resolution in emission from a microwave discharge. The following principal molecular constants have been obtained.[Formula: see text]Inspection of the low J value lines shows that the A2Π state is a regular state derived from the electronic configuration σ2σ2π4π although the Λ-doubling constants p and q are of opposite sign.

The 4875 Å band of glyoxal has been photographed in absorption under high resolution and a rotational analysis carried out. The band is of type C and the principal molecular constants are: A′ = 0.9069 cm−1, B′ = 0.1983 cm−1, C′ = 0.1627 cm−1, A″ = 0.8910 cm−1, B″ = 0.2066 cm−1, C″ = 0.1681 cm−1, v0 = 20 507.57 cm−1. The A-rotational constants are smaller by a factor of ~2 than the constants found earlier for trans glyoxal. The new results are consistent with the assignment of the band to an allowed 1B1–1A1 (π*–n) transition of cis glyoxal. Temperature studies indicate that the cis isomer lies 1125 ± 100 cm−1 above the trans isomer. This is the first time that cis glyoxal has been detected experimentally.

The E band system of 63Cu127I, lying in the region 3 700 to 4 700 Å, has been photographed in emission under high resolution. Rotational analysis of the (0–4), (0–3), (0–2), (0–1), (0–0), (1–1), (1–0), (2–0), and (3–2) bands has been made. The electronic transition involved is found to be 1Σ (E1Σ)–1Σ(X1Σ). The rotational constants obtained are as follows:[Formula: see text]

The fine structures of three of the β bands of PO which occur near 3200 Å have been analyzed. The analysis shows that the upper state of this band system is a 2Σ and not a 2Π state as previously believed. The rotational constants of both electronic states have been determined and it is found that the ground state constants, previously determined from the γ bands, are incorrect.

A rotational analysis of five bands, (1,0), (0,0), (0,1), (0.2), and (0,3), of the visible band system A of BiF has been carried out by photographing the bands under high dispersion (1.25 Å/mm). The analysis has shown that the bands arise from a 0+(3Σ−)–0+(3Σ−) transition. The rotational constants for the upper and lower states of the system are obtained.
