Reinvestigations on the electronic transition moment variation in (A 2 Π -X 2 Σ +) and (B 2 Σ + -X 2 Σ +) band systems of BO molecule

Abstract

The variation of electronic transition moment with internuclear distance in the case of (A 2 Π -X 2 Σ +) and and (B 2 Σ + -X 2 Σ +) transitions of astrophysically significant BO molecule been reinvestigated. On the basis of the results it is concluded that the conventional Morse potential is not appropriate to yield meaningful information about the electronic transition moments. The preferential superiority of the RKRV potential over Morse potential in such studies has been critically discussed.
