“…All transitions reported in Refs. [] were measured with nearly the same precision (Supporting Information Table S1); hence these bands were weighted equally, with the exception of bands including N, A ″, Z ′, T ′, and I ′ ( v = 0) levels that are clearly perturbed. It should be noted that v = 0 levels of the I , L , U , and D ′ states are also perturbed, but to the lesser extent, and their bands were weighted accordingly.…”

“…Twenty‐nine experimentally characterized ThO v = 0 energy levels and the energy difference between the v = 0 levels of the Y and W states were available for fitting the CI LFT model parameters (all states with Ω ≤ 3). The results from the optimized model were then used to propose assignments for previously unidentified ThO molecular bands that are listed in the Vatican Atlas .…”

Configuration interaction ligand field theory (CI LFT) calculations of the electronic energy levels of ThO were performed by treating the molecular electronic states as Th 2+ free-ion levels perturbed by the ligand field of O 2− . Twenty nine experimentally characterized ThO v = 0 energy levels, together with the energy difference between the v = 0 levels of the Y and W states were fitted using a CI LFT model that included Th 2+ 7s 2 , 6d7s, 6d 2 , 7s7p, 6d7p, 5f7s, and 7p 2 configurations. Predictions from these calculations were used to provide tentative assignments for 171 out of 250 ThO band heads listed by Gatterer et al.["Molecular Spectra of Metallic Oxides", Specola Vaticana (1957)]. Term energies for 30 electronic states have been determined based on these assignments. Subsequently, the CI LFT model was refined by fitting to a set of 59 electronic term energies. The inclusion of CI effects together with integer valence, atomic-in-molecule, ionic bonding ideas reveals atomic energy level patterns that are multiply replicated in the molecular energy level patterns of six Th 2+ O 2− atomic ion configurations (6d7s, 6d 2 , 7s7p, 6d7p, 5f7s, and 7p 2 ) revealing the underlying atomic ion structure that gives rise to the complex and seemingly erratic unassigned bands reported in the Vatican Atlas.

“…While there have been several spectroscopic studies of the ground and low-lying electronic states, [3][4][5][6][7][8] In the present study we have measured the Stark effect for numerous branch features of the E(0 We also analyze the field-free spectrum to derive the bond distances for the E(0…”

The optical Stark spectrum of the E(0+) − X1Σ+ (1,0) band of thorium monoxide, ThO, was recorded and analyzed to determine the permanent electric dipole moments, μ, for the E(0+) (v = 1) and X1Σ+ (v = 0) states. Values of 2.782 ± 0.012 D (X) and 3.534 ± 0.010 D (E) were obtained. The uncertainties are 2σ statistical error. The systematic errors are estimated to be less than 1%. The experimental results are used to access the quality of electronic structure calculations of the properties of the X1Σ+ (v = 0) state.
