Abstract
The predissociation of the 1(3)Sigma (-)(g) v greater than or equal to 10 l evels of Li-7(2) has been observed by pulsed and continuous-wave perturbati on-facilitated optical-optical double-resonance spectroscopy (PFOODR). Our ab initio calculation shows that the inner wall of the 1(3)Sigma (-)(g) pot ential intersects the 1 (3)Pi (g) repulsive potential at internuclear dista nce R = 2.00 Angstrom. The predissociation is due to a DeltaS = 0, Delta La mbda = +/-1 rotational-electronic interaction with the repulsive 1 (3)Pi (g ) state. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
