Isotope shift studies in the spectrum of boron monosulphide

The spectrum of boron monosulphide has been excited in microwave discharge and photographed at moderate dispersion. TheC ²Π _r ?X ²Σ⁺,B ²Σ⁺?A ²Π _i andA ²Π _i ?X ²Σ⁺ band systems extending from 2100–9000 Å have been obtained for B³²S and B³⁴S species. Isotope shifts for all these band systems have been measured. Comparison of the observed isotope shifts with the theoretically calculated isotope shifts confirms the emitter as well as the vibrational assignments of all these band systems.
