Bands of HD andD2Ending on the2pΣ1State

Abstract
Two extensive band systems of HD and D2, 3dΣ12pΣ1 and 3dΠ12pΣ1 are given and described and a few weaker and less complete systems ending on the same state. The rotational constants of 2pΣ1 can be corrected with the help of the isotopic relations and satisfactory values obtained. There is at present, however, no way to obtain very accurate values of the vibrational constants for any state of the hydrogen molecule. The H2 constants of all the states concerned have been recalculated and from the comparison of the three isotopic molecules much can be learned about the reliability of the constants and other properties of the states. 3dΠ1 is strongly decoupled but free from prominent perturbations, whereas 3dΣ1 and 3dΠ+1 are strongly perturbed.
