Abstract
Magnetic Rotation Spectroscopy (MRS) and Sideband Optical-Optical Double Resonance Zeeman Spectroscopy (SOODRZ) are diagnostically powerful techniques capable of selectively simplifying spectra, pre-sorting sub-bands and branches, and yielding definitive information about the electronic character and new strategies for absolute rotational assignments of molecular spectra. Consequently, the use of MRS and SOODRZ in the analysis of congested and complicated, non-Hund's-limiting-case diatomic spectra is appealing. We will present progress made in applying these sensitive, absorption-based techniques to the study of the electronic spectra of transition metal hydrides such as NiH, CoH, and PtH, which are currently being analyzed.
