Abstract
IN continuation of earlier work1 on SO2, the emission bands of SeO and the absorption bands of SeO2 have been analysed. The former consist of a long v = 0 progression and a short v = 1 progression. The origin of the system cannot be definitely located but the v = 0 progression can be expressed by the following formula v = 30433(882 v6 v2). Considerations of intensity distribution lead us to 33167 cm.1 as v0 and = 910 cm.–1, and the energy of dissociation of unexcited SeO will therefore be 4·17 volts. The vibrational frequency of the excited state co is 513 cm.–1
