Spectra of SeO and SeO2

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.โ€“1, and the energy of dissociation of unexcited SeO will therefore be 4ยท17 volts. The vibrational frequency of the excited state co is 513 cm.โ€“1
