Fourier transform spectroscopic measurements of the absorption bands of the Herzberg I system [Formula: see text] of O2, have been made in the wavelength region 240–270 nm. Rotational line positions are determined with an accuracy of 0.005 cm−1, and rotational term values are presented for the vibrational levels, ν = 4–11. Molecular constants of these levels are also presented. Interactions with the [Formula: see text] state are observed at J = 13 of the ν = 4 level, at J = 16 of the ν = 7 level, and at J = 15 and 24 of the ν = 9 level of the [Formula: see text] state. Another interaction around J = 10 of the ν = 11 level might result from the weakly bound 3Πu state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
