Abstract

An analytic expression is derived for calculating the intensities of individual spin-rovibronic lines in the fully resolved gas phase electronic spectrum of a polyatomic molecule, in which one of the zero-order electronic states is a triplet state. The expression is employed to calculate the effect of fine structure splitting on the singlet-triplet absorption spectrum of pyrazine using the parameters available from experiment. A transition from Hund’s coupling Case (a) to Case (b) on going from low J to high J rotational levels is predicted to occur at a moderate resolution of a few hundred MHz. The effect is more pronounced in pyrazine-d 4 and the pyrazine-argon van der Waals complex owing to their larger mass.
