Abstract

Fluorescence excitation spectra of ZnI produced in a supersonic jet discharge are presented. Two band systems, B 2 Σ + ←X 2 Σ + and C 2 Π 1/2 ←X 2 Σ + , were excited with a tunable ultraviolet (UV) laser operating between ≃ 356 and 304 nm. The spectra were found to be vibrationally warm (υ''≤13) but rotationally cold. While the analysis of the C-X band system is in good agreement with published results, transitions from the ground state were found to probe higher B ion-pair state vibrational levels than previously known (36≤υ'≤59). Precise B ion-pair state vibrational constants valid between υ'=0 and 59 have been determined. The relative change in equilibrium bond lengths between B 2 Σ + and X 2 Σ + was found to be 0.88(3) A by Franck-Condon calculations
