Abstract

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 0-1 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. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
