Abstract:
The [17.8]0(+)-X(1)Σ(+) (0,0) band of gold monofluoride, AuF, has been recorded at a resolution of 40 MHz both field free and in the presence of a static electric and magnetic field. The observed Stark shifts were analyzed to determine the permanent electric dipole moment, μel, of 2.03 ± 0.05 D and 4.13 ± 0.02 D, for the [17.8]0(+)(v = 0) and X(1)Σ(+)(v = 0) states, respectively. The small magnetic tuning observed for the [17.8]0(+)(v = 0) state is attributed to rotational and magnetic field mixing with the [17.7]1 state and has been successfully modeled using an effective Hamiltonian for the (3)Π state. A comparison with the numerous published theoretical predictions is made.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
