Extract

In Part I (1938) an application of the theoretical work of the late J. L. Dunham (1932) to the Isσ2pσ1∑ and Isσ2sσ3∑ states of D2 has been carried out, and the constants of these states have been calculated and compared with those for the corresponding states of H2. This work shows that the corresponding isotopic states are much more dissimilar than we should have expected.
