Low-lying states of TeF: observation and assignment of the A and B states

Abstract
Low-lying electronic states of TeF, whose emission results when hydrogen telluride and fluorine are intimately mixed, are reported. The emission spectrum in the region 5500–8600 Å would appear to result from the A2Πi–X2Πi transition. Based upon this observation, the previously reported system in the region 3900–5200 Å must be reassigned to the transition B2Σ+–X2Πi. Observed spectra are presented and vibrational and electronic constants for the A2Π, B2Σ+, and X2Π electronic states are tentatively assigned.
