Abstract

The spectra of 14NS and 15NS molecules are obtained in a 2450 mc./s. microwave oscillator discharge. Vibrational assignments of the β- and γ-systems are studied in more detail. Several hitherto unrecorded bands are satisfactorily explained as belonging to higher v', v" levels in the Deslandres schemes of both β- and γ-systems. The observed isotope shifts (14NS-15NS) provide confirmatory evidence for the proposed vibrational analysis. In the case of the γ-system, the v'=2 level of the upper state appears to be strongly perturbed showing a shift of about 38 cm.−1 from the expected position. In the β-system, the isotopic shifts in the band-heads involving the v'=0 and 1 levels of the 2Δ5/2 of the upper state show small deviations from expected values. The reality of these small deviations is established beyond doubt by the occurrence of the effect on the 0–0 sub-band which exhibits the isotopic head in a wavelength direction opposite to the expected one.
