A new spectrum associated with diatomic carbon

Abstract: A new system of very simple Z-X bands in the region 4800-6000 A has been observed in flash discharges in CH4, both in absorption and emission. The rotational analysis shows conclusively that the molecule responsible is a diatomic nlolecule containing two carbon nuclei, a conclusion that is further confirmed by the observation of the corresponding system using 13CH4 instead of 12CH,. Neither the upper nor the lower state is one of the known states of C2. None of the predicted low-lying states of C, fits the obs… Show more

“…Recently, Herzberg and Lagerqvist [13] discovered a new system of Σ-Σ bands by using a flash discharge in CH4: this is attributed to the 2 Σ u + -2 Σg + transition of C 2 -. The head of the 0-0 band is at 18487 cm -1 (2.3 eV).…”

“…C; was first prepared in matrices by Milligan, Jacox, and Abouaf-Marguin [78, 791 after it was observed in the gas phase by Herzberg and Lagerqvist [80]. It was also studied in emission in matrices by Frosch [81], Bondybey and Nibler [82], and by Allamandola et al, the last named authors presenting a paper at this Conference.…”

“…The laboratory wavelengths in air for the C 2 _ (0, 0) and (1,1) band were determined from the vacuum wavenumbers given by Herzberg and Lagerqvist (1968) using the relations of Allen (1963) given by Moore, Minnaert, and Houtgast (1966) in the wavelength region ÀA5160-5500 were used to determine the rest wavelengths for HD 201626. It was assumed that there were no wavelength shifts between the Fei lines and the absorption features that were nearly coincident with C 2 _ lines.…”

“…A part of the spectrum, from AA5413.5-5416.5, shown in Figure 1 shows the difficulty created by the blends. This region includes all lines near the C 2 _ (0,0) P branch bandhead at 5415.88 Â, which is the strongest C 2 _ feature on the laboratory spectra of Herzberg and Lagerqvist (1968).…”
