Summary
The three broad bands at 4747·2, 4662·1 and 4575·2 A are explained as due to transitions from a single stable state 1 u (3 Σ u +) at 44900 cm.−1 to three unstable states O g + (3 Σ g ), 1 g (3 Σ − g ) and 1 g (1 Π g ) which dissociate into2P3/2+2P1/2 iodine atoms at 20037 cm.−1 The bands in the region 2687 to 2400 A form three groups which are explained as arising in a level 1 g (1 Π g ) at 58572 cm.−1 and having for their final level the three unstable states 1 u (3Δ1u ), 2 u (3Δ2u ) and 1 u (1 Π u ) which dissociate into2P3/2+2P1/2 iodine atoms. The potential energy diagram for iodine molecule is given.
