Abstract

The emission spectrum of NiS has been investigated in the near infrared in the 2000-7500 cm(-1) region using a Fourier transform spectrometer. New bands observed in the 3000-5000 cm(-1) region have been assigned to a (3)Pi(i)-X-3 Sigma(-) transition analogous to the transition of NiO observed in the near infrared [R.S. Ram and P.F. Bernath, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 155 (1992) 315-325]. The 0-0 band of NiS consists of (3)Pi(0+)-X-3 Sigma(-)(1) (4399 cm(-1)), (3)Pi(0-)-X-3 Sigma(-) (4257 cm(-1)), (3)Pi(1)-X-3 Sigma(-)(0+) (3938 cm(-1)), and (3)Pi(2)-X-3 Sigma(-)(1) (3325 cm(-1)) sub-bands. To higher wavenumbers, another [Omega = 1] - X-3 Sigma(-)(0+) transition has been observed with a 0-0 R head near 5887 cm(-1). This transition has been assigned as (1)Pi-X-3 Sigma(-)(0+), although a (3)Pi(1)-X-3 Sigma(-)(0+) assignment is also possible. Several vibrational bands belonging to different sub-bands were rotationally analyzed and spectroscopic constants evaluated. Our spectroscopic constants for the ground state agree well with the values reported in the microwave Study by Yamamoto et al. [T. Yamamoto, N. Tanimoto, T. Okabayashi. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 9 (2007) 3744-3748]. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
