Isotope Effects on Franck—Condon Factors. VII. Vibrational Intensity Distribution in the H2 Lyman, H2 Werner, O2 Schumann—Runge, N2 First Positive, N2 Vegard—Kaplan, and LiH (A—X) Systems Based on RKR Potentials

Franck—Condon factors, based on Rydberg—Klein—Rees (RKR) potential functions, were computed for the H2 and D2 Lyman and Werner, 16O2 and 18O2 Schumann—Runge, 14N2 and 14N15N first positive and Vegard—Kaplan, and 7LiH and 7LiD (A—X) band systems. While the vibrational intensity distribution within several band series differs considerably from that previously computed using Morse potentials, the isotope effect is very similar by both methods. Only for the hydrogen Lyman bands, even the isotope effect on Franck—Condon factors is markedly different by the two methods. The isotope ratio of Franck—Condon factors, q(7LiH)/q(7LiD), in a given band progression (e.g., v″=3), oscillates between very large (104) and very small (10−2) values at the minima between the locus of the Condon parabolas. The isotope effect on r centroids is negligible for transitions of oxygen and nitrogen molecules, but amounts to several percent for transitions of hydrogen and lithium hydride molecules. For the 16O2 Schumann—Runge absorpti...
