Emission spectrum of chlorine excited in the presence of argon

The weak band system in the region 2365-2239 Å is discussed in this paper. The wavelengths and the wavenumbers of the bands photographed with the first order of a 21-ft. grating spectrograph are recorded. The vibrational analysis of the bands and their corresponding intensity distribution are also given. The analysis shows that the lower state of the system is the same as that of the 2600-2390 Å system discussed in the earlier paper and is the 3π (O_u ⁺) state established by Elliott at 17658 cm.^?1 The constants of the upper state arew ₀′ = 261·5 cm.^?1,w ₀′x ₀′ = 0·812 cm.^?1, T₀=61290 cm.^?1.
