Analyses of the 290–400 nm oscillatory continua due to transitions from the E(O⁺) ion pair state of BrCl

Abstract

Dispersed fluorescence spectra from BrCl E(O⁺) have been recorded between 290 nm and 400 nm following excitation with synchrotron radiation in the wavelength region 144–147 nm. The spectrum due to excitation with 146 nm radiation has been analysed by simulation calculations to interpret spectral structure and to estimate the shape of the potential energy curves involved.
