Abstract
The existence of a stable NaLi molecule has been demonstrated for the first time. Spectra of the Li molecule were produced by laser excitation. With the aid of the technique of collision-induced energy transfer the molecular constants have been determined and the excited level assigned to a electronic state. The measured molecular constants are within 10% of the Li constants predicted by ab initio calculations.
