Rotational Constants of the Iodine Monochloride Molecule

Nature volume 127, page 707 (1931)Cite this article

Abstract

Our analysis of the rotation structure of the iodine monochloride absorption bands is now sufficiently advanced to permit of a fairly precise determination of the molecular constants. The region 6482–6837 A. has been measured on plates taken in the second order of a 21 ft. concave grating, and practically all the lines have been allocated to series. The strongest bands in this region are σ″ = 1, σ′ = 8–12; some bands belonging to the σ″ = 0 and σ″ = 2 progressions are also present, and there are of course two complete systems, a strong one due to ICl35 and a weaker one due to ICl37. The figures given in the accompanying table refer to the former only.
