Abstract

A detailed analysis of autionizing Rydberg states converging to the (010) level of HCO has characterized series of transitions in terms of the total angular momentum, as well as the cation-core rotational quantum number, N+, and a quantum defect, δ. Experiments employing optical selection to isolate structure built on higher vibrational states of the core show many of the same series. Systematic trends in quantum defects with increased bending amplitude reflect the structure of underlying close-couplied excited electronic states.
