ON THE SPIN–ORBIT INTERACTION IN DIATOMIC MOLECULES. II

Abstract

This paper deals with perturbations between states of even multiplicity in a three-electron system. With the aid of the matrix elements which have been obtained, a comparison of the perturbations in the various components of a given state and in some cases a comparison of perturbations in two different states is possible. Also for certain cases it has been possible to establish relationships between the matrix elements which give the magnitude of the perturbations and experimentally measurable molecular constants of the perturbed states.
