Spectroscopy of MnCl: vibrational analysis of a band system near 877 nm and observation of a new band system near 1001 nm

Abstract

A band system in MnCl near 877 nm has been vibrationally analysed, and the analysis is not in accord with literature results. The present analysis indicates that the transition involved is a c⁵Σ⁺ - a⁵Σ⁺, as already analysed in MnH/D and in MnF. A new band system centred at 1001 nm has been recorded.
