Abstract

The (0,0), (1,0), (0,1), and (1,1) bands of the γ′(B3Π–X3Δ) system of TiO have been rotationally analysed up to J = 55. Accurate molecular constants have been determined for the ν = 0and ν = 1 levels of the B3Π and X3Δ states. The three substates of the B3Π state all show significant Λ-type doubling, which has been analysed using a full matrix treatment. Our new results give corrected values for the ground state spin–orbit splittings; they also illustrate very clearly the problem of the correlation of the various centrifugal distortion parameters appearing in the Hamiltonian for a triplet electronic state.
