Abstract: | The theory of the Zeeman effect in 2Π states of diatomic molecules is reconsidered. Second order terms due to the interaction with 2Δ states, which were left out in a previous investigation, are now included. The total correlation between the spin-rotation coupling constant and the centrifugal distortion in the spin-orbit coupling renders the fitted molecular g factors somewhat ambiguous. This problem is handled by a transformation of the basis for the Hamiltonian matrix. The theoretical results are exemplified for the 2Π ground state of OH for which EPR data are available for both the and substates. A combination of ab initio predictions and fitted values of the g factors finally yields new information concerning the separate contributions from 2Σ+, 2Σ?, and 2Δ states to the contamination of the 2Π ground state in OH. |
