The b’Z;-a311, Ballik-Ramsay system of Cz perturbed by the ‘Zgf state was previously partially deperturbed. Therefore, errors were made in the assignment of lines around the perturbation. In this work, the perturbations observed in the b3Z; - u = 0, 1, 2, and 3 levels were completely reduced. The treatment required a theoretical model which includes secondorder terms in the off-diagonal interactions. 0 1985 Academic press, h.
INTRODUCTION
The aim of deperturbing a band system is to obtain parameters having physical significance, which may in turn, be used to predict frequencies of new transitions. Deperturbation techniques are especially important when the interacting state cannot be reached directly. The method of direct fitting of measured wavenumbers in band spectra has become increasingly sophisticated during the past few years. This method first requires the choice of a model Hamiltonian matrix written in terms of molecular constants. The eigenvalues of this matrix, obtained by diagonalization of the model Hamiltonian, are used to compute transition frequencies, which are then compared with experimental values. Then, least-squares adjustments of molecular parameters are made to give eigenvalues which reproduce the observed spectrum. This approach is particularly suitable to the fitting of perturbed spectra. The local perturbing state can be included directly in the Hamiltonian matrix, and this allows the coupling constants describing the interaction, as well as the usual molecular parameters of the perturbed and perturbing state, to be determined simultaneously in a statistically rigorous manner. The present work is concerned with a new Fourier transform study of the b3Z;-a311, Ballik-Ramsay system of C2 discussed in Ref. (I). In this previous analysis, the authors experienced some difficulty in achieving a complete reduction of the perturbations of the 32; state by the ‘2: state. When one type of perturbed level is taken into account, either F, or F3, the reduction is good, but in the 0022-2852185 $3.00 Copyright 0

complete fitting the results are less satisfactory and the discrepancies between experimental and calculated wavenumbers lie between 10 X low3 and 80 X 10m3 cm-‘. The purpose of the present work has been to carry out a complete deperturbation of the perturbed Ballik-Ramsay system of Cz. This system has been excited in an electrodeless discharge through CO. The experimental conditions were described in a previous paper (2). The crossing points between the 32; state and the ‘2: state are illustrated in the plots of E, (cm-‘) against J(J t- 1) given in Fig. 1.

band only. The equilibrium values of the molecular constants for the ‘2; state are presented in Table V. The interaction parameters between the 3E; and ‘2; states are listed in Table VI. This table also gives a comparison between the values of the first-order spin-orbit terms obtained in this work and those found by Amiot et al. (I). The values are of the same magnitude, and they fulfill the theoretical predictions made by Clementi (4) and Veseth (5). It should be noted that only the F3 level of u = 3 is observed (as shown in Table I), which explains why the quoted uncertainty of this level is relatively large. A simultaneous determination of the second-order parameters, A, and AZ, is not possible. Various tests show that they are of the same order of magnitude, and that they are of equal importance as regards the improvements they make to the theoretical model. Tables VII and VIII show the contribution of these parameters for the F, and F3 levels, respectively, of the vibrational level o = 2 of the 3x; state close to the perturbation. To conclude this work, we have calculated the coefficients for the development of the total wavefunction of the 3Z; state which is perturbed by the pure F,,F3, and ‘2; wavefunctions. From this we have deduced the mixing coefficients of F,,

Fj, and ‘Zi, respectively, with all the other states. Figures 2, 3 and 4 illustrate the variation of these coefficients. CONCLUSION
We have improved the study of the perturbation of the ‘2; state by the ‘Zl state. The introduction of a second-order parameter allows the model to be somewhat refined. The noticeable effect is that the perturbations are reduced to the limit imposed by the accuracy of the experiments (2 or 3 X 10m3cm-‘). The results given by Amiot et al. (I) arise from a fit taken from one level alone (F,or F3), and the root mean square of the residuals was given as 7.3 X 10m3cm-‘. Similarly, a fit including the whole system gave a standard deviation of 80 X lop3 cm-]. A slightly more detailed investigation of the experimental results for the different transitions has shown that these anormalies stem both from an incomplete model for the deperturbation of the band (it included only the first-order terms in the off-diagonal interaction) and from errors in the assignment of lines around the
