Abstract
Numerous features in the $B^{3}\Pi(v-0)-X^{3}\Delta$ band system of titanium monoxide. TiO, have been recorded at a line width of $<50$ MHz(FWHM) using the technique of intermodulatic fluorescence spectroscopy. Gas phase TiO was produced by in a flowing reaction chamber from the microwave discharge of a mixture of argon a trace amount of $O_{2}$, and the vapor of a heated $Ti(C_{5}H_{5})_{2}Cl_{2}$ sample. An attempt to identify magnetic hyperfine splitting of the features associated with the $^{47} TiO$ isopopic form. The identification of the spectral features were complicated by the low natural abundance of $^{47} Ti(-8$\%) and the presumbale large magnetic hyperfine splitting. A series of predicted spectra were produced using realistic estimates of the spectroscopic parameters for $^{47} TiO$ to aid in this identification.
