Rotationally resolved ultrahigh-resolution spectra of jet-cooled dibenzofuran(DF) for the 000 and several vibronic bands up to 000 + 1335 cm-1 band have beenobserved. Several thousand lines were assigned and these molecular constantswere determined.
The S1 state is assigned to be the 1A1 ( *) state. The intensity arises from thevibronic coupling with the S2 1B2 state.
The Zeeman broadenings of the rotational lines were also observed, and the J,K-dependence were studied. As a result, the observed Zeeman effects could beexplained to be originating from the magnetic moment of the S1 1A1 stateinduced by mixing with S2 1B2 state by J-L coupling, which suggests thatrotationally resolved levels are not mixed with a triplet state largely.
