The samples were prepared by laser ablation of W metal in the presence of O-2 and stabilized in pulsed supersonic jets of Ne or Ar. Only the J = 1-0 transition was accessible within the frequency range of the spectrometer. It was measured for the ground (nu = 0) and two excited (nu = 1, 2) vibrational states. Hyperfine structure due to W-183 nuclear spin-rotation coupling was found for (WO)-W-183. The overall spectral fit used a Dunham-type expression including Born-Oppenheimer breakdown parameters. Only the nu = 0 and 1 states could be fit to the measurement accuracy because of a small perturbation of the nu = 2 state. It was necessary to account for the finite nuclear size of the W nucleus in the fit. The resulting parameter V-01(W) agreed well with a value calculated using density functional theory. Equilibrium internuclear distances re have been evaluated.}, keywords = {COUPLING CASE C, DIATOMIC-MOLECULES, DUNHAM COEFFICIENTS, ENERGY, FIELD SHIFT, INFRARED-SPECTRA, ISOTOPE DEPENDENCE, PB-CHALCOGENIDES, ROTATIONAL SPECTRUM, TL-HALIDES}, isbn = {0008-4204}, url = {://000269834000014}, author = {Krumrey, C. and Cooke, S.

The samples were prepared by laser ablation of Lu metal in the presence of SF6 or Cl-2, and stabilized in supersonic jets of Ar. Spectra of molecules in states having v = 0, 1, and 2 have been measured, to produce rotational constants and centrifugal distortion constants, along with hyperfine constants for all the nuclei. Dunham-type. fits for LuCl produced a Born-Oppenheimer breakdown parameter for Cl. Although a theoretical calculation showed that Lu in LuCl should have a significant field shift effect parameter, it could not be determined from the spectrum. Equilibrium internuclear distances, re, and dissociation energies have been evaluated for both molecules.

From these quantities the molecular field shift parameter, V-01(i) (i = Pb or Tl), in each diatomic molecule may be derived. The results show a good comparison with experimental data. In the course of this work various other spectroscopic constants have been calculated for these two classes of compounds and in so doing the performance of several model Hamiltonians and basis sets has been evaluated. Using the method developed here, field shift effects in a small number of other heavy metal-containing diatomic molecules have been evaluated and a tentative explanation for the trends observed is given.

Improved bond lengths have been obtained for both molecules. Density functional methods have been used to estimate the electron density at the bismuth nucleus in each molecule and hence allow an estimate of the uncertainty due to field shift effects in the experimentally derived bond lengths.
