The laser induced fluorescence spectrum of XeKr, prepared in a free-jet expansion, was obtained near the transition $(68045.66cm-1)$. Transitions to three electronic states were identified within a $300cm-1$ range. Complex vibrational structure in the discrete spectra is attributed to an avoided crossing between two $\Omega =1$ states. Bound-free transitions were also observed when exciting to repulsive states that produce an excited $Xe6s[3/2]\circ (J=1)$ atom. Spectroscopic constants and approximate potentials will be presented.
