Fourier Transform Emission Spectroscopy of CuCl.

The electronic spectra of CuCl were observed in the 18 000 cm(-1) to 25 000 cm(-1) spectral region using a Bruker IFS 120 HR Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) and with the FTS associated with the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope at Kitt Peak. On the basis of ab initio calculations, the labels for the electronic states were revised, and the a(3)Sigma(+)(1)-X(1)Sigma(+) 0-0 band, the b(3)Pi(0)-X(1)Sigma(+) 0-0, 1-0, and 0-1 bands, the b(3)Pi(1)-X(1)Sigma(+) 0-0, 1-0, and 0-1 bands, the A(1)Pi-X(1)Sigma(+) 0-0, 1-0, and 0-2 bands, and the B(1)Sigma(+)-X(1)Sigma(+) 0-0 and 1-0 bands were measured. Improved spectroscopic constants were obtained for the excited and ground states. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.
