Determination of the electric dipole moment of ICl(B3P0) from pendular spectra

Abstract

The authors evaluate the elec. dipole moment of an excited electronic state of ICl(B, v = 0) from transitions within the B, 0<-X, 2 band that take place between pendulum/pinwheel states hybridized by a strong elec. field (up to 15kV/cm). The authors find mB = 1.41(+-0.05) D, with Cl more neg. than I as in the ground electronic state.
