Potential energy curves for NO

In recent years, high‐resolution photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations have considerably revised and enlarged the understanding of the electronic structure of the NO+ ion. Based on these results, new potential energy curves for the electronic states of NO+ below 24 eV have been constructed and are given here. RKR potentials were calculated from new molecular constants for the eight experimentally well‐defined states. For the other states, the main features of the potentials were estimated from theoretical calculations and from isoelectronic analogies. A brief review is given of the information on which each potential energy curve is based.
