SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the energy level changes when the HD+ ion is replaced by D2+. Based on experimental data from Wing et al. (Phys Rev 36, 1488 (1976)) and theoretical calculations by Bishop (Phys Rev Letters 37, 484 (1976)), the lowest rotational and vibrational levels for HD+ are provided. The specific energy transitions are detailed in Table 1, with values such as 1869 cm-1 for N=0, L=1 to N=1, L=0. The inquiry seeks to determine the corresponding energy levels for D2+.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molecular ion energy levels

I have a problem to solve.

Table 1 shows the lowest rotational and vibrational levels of the HD+ ion and is based on experiments by Wing et al (phys rev 36, 1488 (1976)) and theoretical calculations by Bishop (Phys Rev Letters 37,484 (1976)). What numbers would it be if HD^+ is replayced with D^+_2? (deuterium)

Table 1.
N=0, L=1 <-> N=1, L=0: 1869cm^-1
N=0, L=2 <-> N=1, L=1: 1824cm^-1
N=0, L=0 <-> N=1, L=0: 1913cm^-1

I would be really grateful if someone would show me the solution.
