Spectroscopic characterization of the X 1Σ+ and C 1Π states of the Mg⋅Ne molecule

Abstract
The X 1Σ+ ground state and C 1Π1 excited state of the Mg⋅Ne molecule have been characterized by laser induced fluorescence in a supersonic jet. The spectroscopic constants are compared to those for analogous electronic states of metal–rare‐gas van der Waals complexes. The bonding in such states is discussed in terms of models for metal–rare‐gas interactions which we have proposed earlier.
