Abstract
Vibrational overlap integrals have been calculated for the spontaneous predissociation $B[O^{+}u (^{3}\Pi)] \rightarrow 1u(^{1}\Pi)$ in $I_{2}$, for several possible locations of the repulsive lu potential curve. The agreement with experimental data based on $lifetime^{1}$ and dissociative $yield^{2}$ studies is quite good for a curve of form $r^{-9}$, which was deduced previously from absorption data $alone.^{3}$ Attention is given to possible interpretational difficulties in $I_{2}$ lifetime studies, and new experiments are suggested.
