The ground state infrared spectrum of the MnH radical ( 7Σ) from diode laser spectroscopy

The infrared spectrum of the manganese hydride radical ( 55MnH) in its ground electronic state ( 7Σ) has been observed using a diode laser spectrometer. The wavenumbers of twelve transitions of the v=1→0 band, five of the v=2→1 band and seven of the v=3→2 band have been measured with a nominal accur...

Description
Summary:The infrared spectrum of the manganese hydride radical ( 55MnH) in its ground electronic state ( 7Σ) has been observed using a diode laser spectrometer. The wavenumbers of twelve transitions of the v=1→0 band, five of the v=2→1 band and seven of the v=3→2 band have been measured with a nominal accuracy of ±0.001 cm −1. Coupling between the electronic spin ( S=3) and the overall molecular rotation causes each ro-vibrational transition with N>3 to be split (γ splitting) into seven components each separated by a few hundredths of a wavenumber. In most cases the complete structure was resolved. Correction terms arising from spin-spin coupling had to be included in the analysis. This work has produced the most accurate set of ground-state parameters available for MnH.
