Comparison between predissociation mechanisms in two isoelectronic molecules: CO and N 2

Abstract

A correspondence between the observed electronic states of N2 and CO is presented, in order to compare the perturbations and predissociations of these two isoelectronic molecules. The homogeneous perturbations between the 1+ (or [image omitted]) and the 1 (or 1u) states are reviewed, and comparisons are made between the indirect predissociations of the 1 states due to the 3 states in both N2 and CO.
