38. A computer code for the calculation of transition frequencies and rotational linestrengths in electronic spectra was kindly supplied by Professor R. N. Zare, which is based on an extension of the methods described in the following. Zare, R. N.; Schmeltekopf, A. L.; Harrop, W. J.; Albritton, D. L. J. Mol. Spectrosc. 1973, 46, 37.
39. 12 branch in which its presence is most apparent. Operationally, we were able to obtain a satisfactory simulation of the fluorescence spectra without adjusting the constants but by assuming that the minor high j component was located at j = 58.5. This slight uncertainty in the true j values of the high j component has no significant effect in the present context on the interpretation of the spectra.
