UV Huggins Bands of Ozone

摘要

A recent analysis on the Huggins bands of ozone deduced the symmetry type of the upper electronic state of this band system. Their analysis, however, depends critically on the vibrational quantum number assignment of a band having an od v3' number. Because of the importance of this value v3', we have reexamined our ozone data for this particular vibrational mode to see whether the previous assignment can be verified by the observed isotope shifts. It is shown that v3' cannot be one half of its previously determined value.
