The C2Πr–X2Σ+ Transition of BO

MRCI study on spectroscopic and molecular properties of four low-lying electronic states of the BO radical

“…an improved analysis was published by Mélen et al [12] in 2001. Some spectroscopic and molecular properties [10,11] were also collected by Huber and Herzberg [8] in 1979.…”

“…Some spectroscopic and molecular properties [10,11] were also collected by Huber and Herzberg [8] in 1979. Up to now, a number of experiments [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] have been carried out, and some spectroscopic and molecular properties have been extracted from these experimental investigations. Summarizing the experiments, we find the derived properties of BO mainly focus on the spectroscopic parameters (D e , R e , x e , x e x e , a e , B e and D 0 ), and little information is available in the literature about highly-excited vibrational levels.…”

Vibrational Analysis of the β System of10B18O

“…Somewhat later, Mélen et al [12] carried out the analysis of the a and b bands of both isotopomers and determined more accurate equilibrium constants for the electronic states X 2 S, A 2 P and B 2 S + than those obtained by Lagerqvist et al [4] Their results are in good agreement with those published by Coxon et al [11] as well as with those theoretically calculated by Karna and Grein. [13] Recently, Mélen et al [14] performed an analysis of the 11 B 16 O and 10 B 16 O bands of the C -X system and gave improved rotational constants for the C 2 P state which was identified as regular state.…”

An ab initio study of the electronic structure of the boron oxide neutral (BO), cationic (BO+), and anionic (BO−) species

“…From extrapolation of the ground state energy levels it was found that this perturbation is due to the v = 20 ( 2 + 1/2 ) level. Thirty six bands of the γ (C-X) system were rotationally analyzed by Mélen et al 15 resulting in better constants for the C 2 state that was also shown to be a regular one. Strong perturbations are found in the spectra due to more than two perturber states.…”
