Abstract

The observed symmetric top properties of fluorescence from the perturbed visible 2B2 state of NO2 are attributed to average behavior of high vibrationally excited perturbing ground state levels. Such attribution precludes assignment of an equilibrium configuration to the perturbed 2B2 state, except as a weighted average, and possibly explains the considerable variation in effective rotational constants from band to band. A comparison is made with NH2.
