Abstract

The band spectrum appearing in emission in the region λ29004300 and believed to belong to the CO2+ or possibly CO2 molecule has been studied and the excitation conditions found to be in substantial agreement with the former results of Duffendack and collaborators and of Smyth. The bands have been obtained with great intensity and photographs of most of them have been made in the second order of the 30-foot grating (actually obtained resolving power of 350,000). The rotational structure and the excitation conditions show that most of the bands belong to an extensive Π2Π2 system of bands of the molecule CO2+. The molecule is linear in both states; the lower Π2 appears to be the ground state Πg2 and the upper Π2 is the first excited state Πu2 of this molecule predicted by Mulliken. The complete rotational and vibrational analysis of this band system is still in progress; in this paper the analysis of 5 double bands of the v1=v2=v3=0 progression of the symmetrical vibration (v1 varying, v2=v3=0) is presented. The results of the analysis are: ν0(0,0)=28,532.60(Π322Π322) and ν0(0,0)=28,468.48(Π122Π122). The vibrational intervals (i.e., the distances between the origins of successive bands in the progression) are: ΔG1=1126.71; ΔG2=1122.66; ΔG3=1120.22; ΔG4=1120.04 (all Π32u2) and ΔG1=1125.97; ΔG2=1120.79; ΔG3=1116.09; ΔG4=1111.76 (all Π12u2). Further for Π32g2B0=0.3796; for Π12g2B0=0.3812; for Π32u2B0=0.3485; B1=0.3475; B2=0.3465; B3=0.3457; B4=0.3453; for Π12u2B0=0.3501; B1=0.3492; B2=0.3483; B3=0.3475; B4=0.3466. The Λ-doubling is observable only is the Π122Π122 sub-bands in this progression; in Πu2 it is bigger than in Πg2 (p0=0.004 for v1=0) and increases fast with the vibrational energy.
