The absorption spectrum of NH2 between 6250 and 9500 Å

Abstract

The earlier analysis by Dressier and Ramsay of the [Formula: see text] absorption system of NH2 has been considerably extended at the long wavelength end of the spectrum. All the low-lying vibronic levels of the excited state have been identified up to ν2′ = 8. These levels are 010(K = 0), 020(K = 1), 030(K = 0,2), 040(K = 1,3), 050(K = 0,2,4), 060(K = 1,3,5), 070(K = 0,2,4,6), and 080(K = 1,3,5,7). Large perturbations (~ 200 cm−1) have been observed between some of these levels and high vibrational levels of the ground state. Accurate molecular constants have been obtained for the ground state and for the first level involving the bending vibration (ν2″ = 1).
