The 3II-1+ band systems of InI were observed in both emission and absorption. Twenty new bandheads wereobserved. Rotational parameters for the 31Io(0+) state were determined from an analysis of seven bands. Vibra-tional parameters for the 31,1(1),fIIo(0+), and lI+(0+) states have been improved substantially.

INTRODUCTION

InI is a heavy molecule that presents a complex spectrum.The many rotational lines lying close together and the un-common structures of some of the bands and their mutualoverlap make a challenging problem in spectral analysis andinterpretation. Many bands have multiple heads that areclearly discernible, whereas in others the multiple heads areso close to one another that the bands are scarcely more thanbroad intense lines with little or no structure.

The earliest observations and vibrational analysis of thespectrum were reported by Wehrli and Miescher.1,2 In addi-tion, Wehrli made a careful study of the behavior of relativeband intensities and observed some bands of the 113In iso-tope.34 Wehrli and Miescher observed and identified anextensive list of bandheads corresponding to two systems:A, A3 Io (O+)-Xl'+(0+), and B, B311l (1)-X '+ (0+). Bar-rett and Mandel5 and Schenk et al.

6 obtained the rotationalconstants of the X 0+ state from microwave spectroscopy.

A rotational analysis for the A (0+)-X (0+) system wasaccomplished recently by Vempati and Jones.7 They deter-mined origins for 11 bands, (0-0), (1-0), (1-1), (2-1), (2-2),(3-2)., (3-3), (4-3), (4-4), (5-4), and (5-5), and determinedvibrational parameters of the A and X states. They mea-sured R-branch lines and from these calculated the rotation-al parameters for the A state. P-branch lines were notresolved.

Our research was concentrated on measuring more accu-rately and completely the bandheads in both systems; onmaking rotational analyses using both P and R branches ofeight bands in the A system, (0-0), (0-1), (1-0), (5-5), (5-7),(10-12), (10-14), and (12-14); on showing that some of theunusual features could be analyzed and explained; and oncalculating vibrational and rotational parameters with in-creased accuracy and for higher vibrational levels. We re-tain the notations A and B for the excited states as given byHuber and Herzberg.8

SOURCES

The emission source was an electrodeless discharge lampmade of 9-mm fused-silica tubing 75 mm long. It containedapproximately 20 mg of vacuum-distilled InI together withargon at a pressure of 1 Torr.

The cell used for absorption consisted of a 15-mm silicatube 125 mm long, with a small sidearm. Flat polishedquartz windows were fused to both ends. The cell contained50 mg of InI. It was heated with two electric ovens, one oneach end, and was maintained at a temperature of 4000C.The vapor pressure was controlled by adjusting the tempera-ture of the sidearm with a separate heater. The continuumsource was a tungsten halide lamp.

SPECTROMETERS

Emission spectra were recorded photographically on a 3-mCzerny-Turner spectrometer in the region from 22 600 to25 000 cm-1 (443 to 400 nm). The plate factor was 1.7 cm-'/mm (0.03 nm/mm), and the resolving limit was 0.040 cm-'(0.0007 nm). Wavelengths were measured by comparisonwith thorium lines emitted by an electrodeless dischargelamp. Kodak Type 103aO spectroscopic plates were used.Exposure times ranged from 30 sec to 3 h. Low-dispersionspectral observations were made from 300 to 925 nm, but nobands outside the region from 394 to 445 nm could be attrib-uted to InI.

Absorption spectra were recorded digitally by using theFourier-transform spectrometer at the Kitt Peak NationalSolar Observatory. Two sets of data were obtained at differ-ent temperatures of InI. One was at 3800C, and the otherwas at 2700C. Instrumental widths were 0.011 and 0.013cm-', increased to 0.027 and 0.015 cm-', respectively, by thefinite aperture size. The combined instrumental and Dopp-ler widths were 0.040 and 0.032 cm-'. A segment of thehigh-resolution spectrum is shown in Fig. 1. It shows thecomplex and blended character of the P head of the A system(0-0) band. The data were recorded in 4096-point recordscovering approximately 36 cm-' each.

DATA REDUCTION

The general data-processing code DECOMP developed at theNational Optical Astronomy Observatories was used to pre-pare atlas plots and line lists. The 3800C run yielded a listwith 22,000 entries. In many regions the bands were satu-rated at this temperature, and a second list of 7000 entriescovering these regions was prepared from the 2700C run.

Fig. 1. Segment of the high-resolution absorption spectrum of InI. The P head of the A-system (0-0) band is shown at 24 392.10 cm-1.

SPECTRUM

The spectrum consists of two band systems that partiallyoverlap.2 4 They correspond to transitions from the A and Bexcited electronic states to the ground state. The A-systembands do not have Q branches, unlike the B-system bands,and they extend over a much larger wave-number regionthan do the B-system bands. There are 234 observableheads in the region 22 285-25 322 cm'; 134 belong to the Asystem, 67 to the B system, 3 assignments are ambiguous,and 30 are unassigned.

To characterize the band structures it is useful to useFortrat parabolas. Wave numbers of rotational lines in aband are commonly fitted by a polynomial function with arunning number m.9 The name parabola is retained eventhough the polynomial is often of degree greater than 2.The P and R branches can be connected together, and the Jnumbering and origin can be determined unambiguously ifm = -J for the P branch and m = J + 1 for the R branch.The Q branch is fitted with m = J. When these polynomialsare plotted they form Fortrat parabolas with an origin, a Qhead, and usually either a P or an R head. The formation ofheads depends on the values of the rotational parameters Iand higher-order terms in the rotational energy expression.InI is a special case because the molecule is a heavy one, the

values of B are small and nearly equal in the upper and lowerstates, and their differences change signs as the vibrationallevels change. For a single band we might observe both Pand R heads, as well as a Q head and subsidiary heads labeledP', Q', and R', for some of the three branches. In some casestwo P heads or two Q heads are formed close together in wavenumber, so that most of the band lines are contained be-tween the two heads. These bands look like broad lines orbars with sharply defined edges, and the heads are denotedby the subscript L. Also, there may be only an inflectionpoint on the parabola for a branch, which results in a diffusebump in the intensity. Such a feature is denoted by thesubscript M, for example, PM. The prime, M, and L nota-tions follow those of Wehrli and Miescher.1,2 All the ob-served bandheads are listed in Table 1. It includes 21 headsobserved by others but not by us.

VIBRATIONAL AND ROTATIONALPARAMETERS

We made rotational analyses of eight bands of system A,chosen so as to span a wide range of vibrational numbers.Their origins, because each was determined from fittingseveral hundred band lines of both the P and R branches,

He did not observe the 23 194.18-cm-1 transition, which fits better in the Deslandres

table.d Wehrli and Miescher2 questioned this identification, which we confirmed on the basis of our rotational analysis.I The accuracy of the table does not permit us to decide between the 24 411.11 and the 24 410.52-cm-' lines as the R(3-6) head.f These two identifications were made because the wave numbers fitted into the Deslandres table. The bands seem too intense for their positions in the table, and

neither one fits properly within the overall shape of the Condon parabola.g Wehrli and Miescher2 were uncertain about these identifications. They fit reasonably well and without ambiguity into our tables.h We found no evidence to help us to resolve this ambiguity, given by Wehrli and Miescher.2

i The head does not fit into the R(3-4) cell of the table.jWe do not observe either of these two heads and do not believe that they can be the R(8-4) and R(7-3) heads of system A. They do not fall within the Condon pa-

rabola. Moreover, the difference between their wave numbers is 51 cm', whereas the wave-number difference of other pairs of heads located nearby and having thesame relative positions is 41 cm-1 .

Table 2. Band Origins for the Indium Iodide Ahave small errors and were used to derive values for the Systemelecronic and vibrational parameters. lthe origins are givenin Table 2, and the electronic and vibrational parameters forall three states are given in Table 3. Those for the B statewere derived from our measurements of the Q heads and ouraccurate values for the parameters of the ground state.

The complexity of the spectrum required us to make acareful survey and selection of bands before making anyrotational analysis. The requirement was to find groups ofat least three reasonably intense bands with both P and Rbranches measurable and that have an upper and a lower

Also, the (5-7)band was analyzed because it contains information corre-sponding to intermediate vibrational numbers and it pre-sents a PL feature. A profile of the band is shown in Fig. 2.Finally, the (5-5) band was examined in some detail to provethat the observed feature is actually part of a branch and isdue to an inflection point of the Fortrat parabola, but theresulting parameters were not considered accurate enoughto be used in the calculation of Be and ae. A comprehensivesmall-scale set of plots for all bands in the A system is shownin Fig. 3.

The general techniques of analysis are well known, 9 butthey can be quite tedious when applied to complex andseverely blended spectra. For analysis of the rotational

spectrum, the interactive computer code ANALYSIS was spe-cially constructed by one of us' 0; it will be discussed inanother paper. Band lines were fitted with a polynomial,and lines differing in wave number by more than two stan-dard deviations from the fit were purged from the final fit.Our fitting extended to J = 255 in the (0-0) band, 208 in (0-1), 250 in (1-0), 227 in (5-5), 199 in (5-7), 218 in (10-1 2), and228 in (10-14). Final values of the rotational parameterswere calculated from a direct fit of all unpurged lines of aband instead of a separate fit of upper and lower rotationallevels uncoupled through combination differences. A wave-number list of lines in the (0-0) band is given in Table 4.

To gain a more quantitative understanding of the Pmfeatures, we analyzed the (5-5) band. An atlas plot is shownin Fig. 4. It has an R head at 24 281 cm-'. The strong andregularly spaced lines superposed onto the feature belong to

the (0-1) band, which forms a P head at 24 216 cm-'. Themain obstacle that we found in analyzing this band was thesubstantial number of unresolved lines within the featureitself: more than 70. There are also approximately 15 miss-ing lines near the origin. In spite of this, we obtained valuesof B5' and B5 ' consistent with the values predicted from theother bands.

The values of the parameters obtained from the rotationalanalyses of the seven bands are given in Table 5. Theequilibrium parameters are given in Tables 6 and 7. Fromthe latter parameters the equilibrium internuclear distancesre can be calculated. Their values are re(X) = 2.75314 ±0.00016 A and re(A) = 2.71078 + 0.00060 A. The errorsattached to the values presented in the tables were obtainedthrough a careful analysis, details of which are given byPecyner.10 One aspect of this analysis was the determina-tion of how many terms to include in the fits. The funda-

mental set of errors is, of course, the deviations of the lines ofeach band from the polynomial fit.

The vibrational number dependence of B is shown in Fig.5, which extends out to v' = 12 and clearly shows the crossingwith no extrapolation. Our values differ somewhat fromthose of Vempati and Jones7 because we were able to obtainexperimental values up to v' = 12 and v" = 14, well beyondthe crossover point.

To summarize, we note that for the X 1:(0+) state we havedetermined the rotational parameters from higher vibra-tional levels than previously observed and have calculatedthe vibrational parameters from band origins rather thanthe P heads. For the A 3IIo(0+) state we have determinedmore-accurate rotational parameters and calculated the vi-brational parameters from band origins. For the B 3ll(1)state we have determined vibrational constants by using ourmeasurements of the Q heads and by incorporating into the
