Abstract
Magnesium chloride was excited in a high frequency discharge source and the 4730 Å band was photographed at an inverse dispersion of 0.48 Å mm−1 in a two meter plane grating spectrograph. The rotational analysis of the band has been carried out and the molecular constants of the upperB 2Σ+ state are reported for the first time. Observation of rotational isotopic shifts due to Cl37 supports the rotational analysis. The electronic transition involved is identified to beB 2Σ+ →A 2Π1/2(a) (inverted).
