Three electronic transitions in the singlet manifold of the zirconium
sulphide (ZrS) molecule have been rotationally analyzed. They are the
(BII)-I-1-X(1)Sigma(+), C(1)Sigma(+)-X(1)Sigma(+), and E(1)Sigma(+)-X(
1)Sigma(+) systems with (0,0) band heads at 924.60, 731.51, and 494.47
nm, respectively. The ground state X(1)Sigma(+) has an equilibrium bo
nd distance of 2.15661(4) Angstrom. Perturbations in the (BII)-I-1 and
C(1)Sigma(+) states are discussed. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
