Turning points of the vibrating SiS molecule in the D 11-iand X 1Z+ electronic states are evaluated using R-K-R-V method. Franck-Condon (FC) factors and r-centroids are computed for the (D IlI-X 1E+) transition of the molecule using wavefunctions appropriate to R-K-R-Vpotential energy curves. The results of the FC-factors vary in accordance with the estimated intensities and also satisfy the vibrational sum rule. The sequence difference Ar remains approximately constant in the computed r-centroids. In recent years, considerable attention is focused on the use of the precise expression for the potential energy of the diatomic molecules as a function of the internuclear distance. The accuracy of the parameters such as dissociation energy, FC-factors and r-centroids depends upon the appropriateness of the potential energy expression used to evaluate them. Thus there is a need to select a more realistic potential energy function for the accurate evaluation of the parameters. It has been stressed by many workers that the R-K-R potential as modified by Vanderslice et al. [ 1] is more realistic than other potentials. Very recently it has been shown
by Mummigatti and Jyoti [2] that the use of R-K-R-V potential yields more accurate results in the case of ( A 2 E + - X 2 E +) transition of A10 molecule for higher vibrational quantum numbers. Therefore, the purpose of the present note is to report the potential energy curves, FC-factors and r-centroids for the ( D - X ) transition of the SiS molecule using the R-K-R-V potential. Potential energy curves for D i l l and X 1E+ electronic states of SiS molecule are constructed using R-K-R-V method. Turning points obtained for all the experimentally observed energy levels are given in table 1. For the determination of the vibrational wavefunc-

a The negative numerical in each FC-factor entry is the power of 10 by which it is multiplied and the quantity in the bracket is the estimated intensity. tions, the procedure already described by the present authors [2] is adopted.

Where ~kv, and fly" are vibrational wavefunctions for the upper and lower states b e t w e e n which the transition takes place and r, the internuclear distance. These results are given in table 2.
F r o m table 2 it is clear that the c o m p u t e d FCfactors vary in accordance with the estimated intensities [3]. The well-known vibrational sum rule viz., Ev'qv'v" = Y-'o"qv'o" -~ 1 is also satisfied for the computed FC-factors. In the case of the r-centroids the established fact that the sequence difference A r = -ro',o" - Tv'+l,o"+l remains approximately c o n s t a n t for all the sequences. Jarmain et al. [4, 5] have shown that ~0,0 is usually greater than (tel+ re2)/2 for systems whose potentials are n o t very m u c h anharmonic. In the present case T0,0 is f o u n d to be less than (tel + re2)/2. 89

This clearly indicates that the potentials are very anharmonic.
