Dimers consisting of an alkali metal bound to an alkaline earth metal are of interest from the perspectives of their bonding characteristics and their potential for being laser cooled to ultracold temperatures. There have been experimental and theoretical studies of many of these species, but spectroscopic data for LiMg and the LiMg+ cation are sparse. In this study, rotationally resolved electronic spectra for LiMg are presented. The ground state is confirmed to be X12Σ+ and observations of low-lying electronically excited states are reported for the first time. Reexamination of transitions in the near-UV spectral range indicates that previous band assignments should be revised. Two-color laser excitation techniques were used to determine an ionization energy of 4.7695(4) eV. This value is 1.2 eV below the previously reported experimental estimate. Vibrationally resolved spectra were obtained for LiMg+, yielding molecular constants that were consistent with a substantial strengthening of the bond on ionization.

The study of BaLi+ and its reactivity plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of chemical bonding or reaction mechanisms.The aim of this work is to represent a complete and extended theoretical study of BaLi+ molecular ion including ground and highly excited electronic states of1,3Σ, 1,3Π and 1,3Δ symmetries, dissociated to the first seven dissociation limits. Thecorresponding potential energy curves (PECs), permanent and transition dipole moments have been investigated. These calculations were performed using the multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) method in combination with optimized basis sets and non-empirical pseudopotentials (ECP) for both Ba and Li atoms.Afterwards, the Spin-Orbit (SO) operator is incorporated in valence MRCI calculation using optimized relativistic spin-orbit pseudo-potentials and 16 Ω states are generated and splitted into Λ-S states.The SO effect gives rise to a more complicated structure of electronic states presented in PEC and permanent and transition dipole moments. Nonadiabatic coupling matrix elements between the five lowest 1Σ+ states are also presented for the nonrelativistic results. Based on the vibrational radiative lifetime and Franck-Condon calculation, the possibilities of laser cooling of this system have been also discussed.
