The A-X and B-X transitions of BO

Diode laser spectroscopy of 10B16O and 11B16O boron monoxide (X)

“…Table 2 compares the diode laser results to those from the electronic spectra. For comparison purposes, we have used the tabulated values of B m from the fits as reported in [2] (merged fits) and [3]. (The values from the equilibrium parameters are in marginally less good agreement with the diode laser results.)…”

“…In the case of BO, there are two extensive band systems, the A 2 P-X 2 R and B 2 R-X 2 R, which have been studied since the early days of quantum mechanics, for example, by Mulliken [1]. Most relevant to the present work are the recent analyses of these band systems by Coxon et al [2] and M elen et al [3]. In addition, the microwave spectra of the two lowest rotational transitions of the radical have been reported by Tanimoto et al [4].…”

The C2Πr–X2Σ+ Transition of BO

“…The spectrum has been recorded between 2330 and 1525Å on Ilford Q 1 Figure 1 illustrates the different efficiencies of the two discharges.…”

“…(1) The o parameter has not been taken into account; its contribution is therefore included in ν 0 and A. (2) Undefined constant.…”

“…A complete rotational analysis of the two main electronic systems of BO by Mélen et al (1) in 1985 yielded a set of accurate equilibrium constants for the three electronic states X 2 + , A 2 i , and B 2 + of the two isotopic species 11 BO and 10 BO.…”
